Default Old houses and buildings??
Can anyone tell me if there are areas in Charlotte where I can take photos of old houses and buildings? I like to paint rustic/abandoned places and just moved here a few days ago from PA.

Statesville is a bit of a drive (about an hour north on 77) but there are a lot of old buildings there.

I would also check out the Stonewall Jackson school. I believe it's in Concord. It's more on the creepy side if thats what you are looking for.

Plenty of abandoned places on both sides of Hwy 74 between the Wendover/Eastway bridge and Albemarle Rd.


Seriously though, the small nearby towns are a better bet: Newton, Cherryville, Rockwell, Gold Hill (old mining village), Richfield, New London, Ramseur, Siler City - lots of stuff on Hwy 49 heading toward Raleigh. Also some old buildings that would photograph (and paint I suppose) on US 73 between Hwy 85 and Lincolnton (@ US 321).

Have fun!

Sorry to bump an old thread, but we were out for a Sunday drive and came across "Stonewall Jackson School," and WOW those are some old, beat up buildings sitting right off old charlotte road. The Wiki page makes it sound like its still open, I assume it is under a new location? There is NO WAY those buildings can be safe for anyone to be in.
