Textile Mill Supply Company Building
Why it's listed
Erected in 1922 at the corner of South Mint and Penman Streets in Charlotte, this three-story red brick warehouse was designed by Lockwood, Green & Company and built by the E. H. Clement Company of Durham. It was constructed for the Textile Mill Supply Company, which sold pulleys, shafts, bearings, lubricants, spinning rings, electric motors and pumps to textile mills across the Piedmont of the two Carolinas. The Charlotte Manufacturing Company, which made card clothing and loom reeds, leased the third floor from 1922 until 1956, and remnants of its line shafting remain. The nomination regards the building as an important link to Charlotte's textile supply trade, noting that the related Charlotte Supply Company Building was demolished in the 1990s. Its restrained design, with corbeled brick courses, concrete parapet and regularly spaced windows, is cited as typical of the warehouses and factories built in Charlotte during the 1920s.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the building housed firms that supplied textile mills and helped Charlotte become a major textile manufacturing and distribution center. It is also presented as a representative example of restrained 1920s commercial and industrial design by Lockwood, Green & Company.

What listing means for this property
For an income-producing building, listing (individually or as a contributing building in a district) is the gateway to the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit on qualified rehabilitation costs, often stackable with state credits. Work claiming the credit must follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and be approved in advance.
Listing does not restrict a private owner acting without federal money or permits; where federal funding or licensing is involved, Section 106 review applies.
Noted as vacant in the nomination. Nomination documents can be decades old; current status may differ. If you are considering buying an empty listed property, read the due-diligence checklist.
