"Several early commercial buildings in Charlotte are still in use. One of the largest
of these is the Isaac Bowers Store (15), now the Charlotte Cafe, located on Lot #36.
This frame building was built by Isaac Bowers in the late 1880s. Isaac Bowers moved
to Charlotte from Wilson County. For many years he and Mr. Sizemore operated a
general merchandise store and drugstore in the building. In later years there was
a large millinery shop on the first floor with apartments on the second floor. The
building had two rooms and a counting room on the first story with a store room above
and it has more recently been changed to its present form." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
