A cannon guards it Charlottes and Mecklenburg Counties oldest home is located here. The owner a Blacksmith and later a farmer helped draft the first NC State Contitution when he served in the Fifth Provincial Congress. Unlike most early homes in Charlotte, this one was built of stone and as a result exists today. Completed in Oct 1774 it was restored in 1949 by the Daughters of the Revolution and opened to the public in 1969. The cannon, well, I think that was added just for effect.  Even better than a Real Find at the cannon would be a VRC Real Find at the German inspired house. Shamrock Hezekiah Alexander House |

Got it! I actually was thinking about using this spot, but a photo sphere as a VRC a while back but never pulled the trigger because Meck had enough VRCs at the time. The cannon is pointed right at me! Yikes.  |

Hope this pic works. Couldn't get a legit street view, so I went 360... I grew up in the neighborhood across the street, off of Shamrock. This brings back memories! I only ever went to this location once, with my older sister. I'll have to take another trip to get the real pic!  |
