Abstract:

John Price Carr was a pioneer in the trucking industry in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries in North Carolina. In 1903, he built a Queen Anne style house in Charlotte, and in the late 1970s, the house had deteriorated and was going to be demolished. The efforts of T. Bragg McLeod, owner of Moss Trucking Company and McLeod Trucking and Rigging Company, saved the house for restoration.
