Roadside Wonders
Presentation
The purpose of this report is to highlight and display some of the surviving
properties and resources around Charlotte that could be designated as “Roadside Wonders.”
A “Roadside Wonder” is any property that was constructed with the purpose of attracting
motorists in the burgeoning pre or post-World War II automobile-oriented commercial industry.
These resources highlight an aspect of American culture that sought to cater to the demand of
travelers in a society that could experience mobilizatin on a mass scale.
