The 200-year-old Dinkins House in Charlotte, once a tavern on a stagecoach line, but now abandoned and crumbling, was in danger of demolition from nearby commercial development. Rescued by Jim and Judy Boyd, who moved it to their property, the house was painstakingly restored and functions now as their family homestead.

Abstract:
In 1774, Hezekiah Alexander built what generations of Charlotteans knew as the 'Old Rock House'. Alexander, who was a lawyer by trade, was a signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence in 1775, an elected member of North Carolina's provincial Congress in 1776, and one of the founders of Queen's College in Charlotte. In an effort to restore the Alexander Home and open it as a museum, a group of Charlotte's leading citizens have formed the Hezekiah Alexander Foundation.
