Sitting just outside the city limits, an area known as Dilworth became home to a showplace residence built by streetcar owner, Edward Dilworth Latta. is home, built in 1891 was the showplace of turn-of-the-century Charlotte, an expansive mansion surrounded by inviting bungalows and was in what was considered Charlotte’s first “suburban” development.
