Abstract:

The old Burwell School, located in Hillsborough, will undergo reconstruction. The school operated from 1837-1857 as a women's Presbyterian school and later became a normal house after the Burwell family left in 1857 to teach school in Charlotte. Governor Sanford purchased the site for preservation in 1963, and several exterior buildings including, the old kitchen and the schoolroom, need restoration. The primary building remains in excellent condition and requires only minimal work.

Abstract:

Mecklenburg County is the home of the first steel mill in North Carolina. The Florida Steel Corporation built the mill in 1962, constructing the mill outside of Charlotte and close to the Davidson railroad station. The Florida Steel Corporation employed 250 workers in two shifts at the facility to allow for the mill to run continuously. The Mecklenburg steel mill produced subway railway bars and reinforcement rods en masse as the mill generated fifty thousand tons of steel products last year.
