13. Paragraph Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property: North Tryon Street was formerly known as part of the major commercial corridor US N29 which ran through Charlotte, NC. Thus, automobiles and trucks became the principal means of transportation through this area. Structures, such as Phil Jackson Auto Sales, (primarily a service station) were beginning to cater specifically to the automobile since they were becoming significantly more prevalent. The large windows, which are now sealed shut, are reminiscent to the era of no air conditioning. Days when service station employees would swelter from the hot the summer heat and open their large windows.
