Historic Information Built in 1879, this historic home was once at the center of a 250-acre farm. The childhood home of Willis Frank Dowd, founder of Charlotte Pipe and Foundry, and William Carey Dowd, former publisher of The Charlotte News, the Dowd house also served as the U.S. Army’s headquarters during the construction of the 2,500 acre Camp Greene, which housed more than 60,000 soldiers during World War I.

Proposed Site Development Parking Plan: All necessary parking for daily use will be accommodated on site. As we do not 8’ PLANTING STRIP desire the parking to be a focal point and for other aesthetic reasons, parking AND 6’ SIDEWALK WHERE FEASIBLE will be designed to be incorporated into the landscape plan and situated around ALONG MONUMENT the structure. STREET Circulation Plan: We plan to use the existing driveway location on Monument Street at the Southern end of the property as the “entrance” and wind the drive around DOWD through the back of the property exiting at the Northern end of the property HOUSE back onto Monument Street. This allows us to disperse pods along the drive as opposed to one large singular lot. We believe the beauty of the grounds and structure will not be distracted by a large paved parking lot. We intend on using pea gravel as the primary surface type and only using impervious surfaces EXISTING CURB AND GUTTER TO where required by building code (i.e. handicap parking). CARRIAGE REMAIN HOUSE Outside Garden integrated with County green space: CEMENT SIDEWALKS Grounds will be substantially redesigned into a garden like setting similar to Charlotte’s Duke Mansion or Van Landingham Estate. Features will include an “event lawn”, gathering garden with a fountain for receptions and events, one or more locations for historic monuments and statues and/or historic items on loan from military sources and a visible site for possible relocation of historic monument or military statue. While the Dowd House grounds will fmow with the future adjoining park, they will be separated from the park by landscaping and decorative fencing with gates that can be opened for community gatherings allowing fmow from one to the other during events.
