North Historic Concord Apartments for Rent
North Historic Concord is a historic district of Concord, North Carolina, roughly bounded by Peachtree Avenue to the north, Church Street to the east, Cobran Avenue to the south, Georgia Street and Spring Street to the west.
This area is distinguished by the large mansions of former textile barons as well as historic family homes. It is a graceful neighborhood, with soaring old oak trees and lovely warm streets, graced by pedestrian-friendly sidewalks.
The homes in this area date mostly from the late 19th century into the early twentieth century. There are a few, however, that date from the earlier Civil War era. Homes here are distinctive and there aren’t usually two that look identical side by side. Styles include some early homes in a Greek revival style; there are also Italianate, Queen Anne and Colonial style houses. Union Street, which runs north to south through the neighborhood, has the look of an old fashioned main street at the southern end of the neighborhood and is filled with large attractive homes further north.
The nearby Old Courthouse Theatre was originally housed in the old courthouse, but in 1981 the ceiling of the courthouse fell in. In 1984, the First Baptist Church sold their building to Old Courthouse Theatre, which has been their home ever since. The theater sells tickets individually or as a subscription. Both are very well priced and interested patrons can read through the theater’s selection of plays for the year at any time.
