CHARLOTTE — McCrorey Heights in north Charlotte is now a designated historic neighborhood.
Marilyn Brown lives in her childhood home in McCrorey Heights.
“My father built this home when I was four years old in 1953,” Brown said.
Brown said that when developers started bulldozing homes in the area, she took action.
“We want to maintain that legacy and these homes,” Brown said.
