Mint Museum - Charlotte, NC - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

In 1931, the Charlotte Mint building was to be demolished to make room for the post office expansion next door. A coalition of private citizens acquired the structure from the U.S. Treasury Department in 1933.

They relocated the structure a few miles east of downtown Charlotte, to the historic neighborhood of Eastover on a plot of land donated by E.C. Griffith. In 1936, it was dedicated as the Mint Museum of Art, the first art museum in North Carolina. On display are thousands of items, along with a complete collection of all gold coins minted at the Charlotte Mint.[citation needed] The museum also includes a reference library with over 15,000 volumes and a theater featuring lectures and performances.-Charlotte Mint
