Cowans Ford Hydroelectric Station

Cowans Ford Hydroelectric Station is a hydroelectric power plant and dam located near Huntersville, North Carolina, approximately 20 miles north of Charlotte on Lake Norman. It is the largest conventional hydro station owned by Duke Energy, generating up to 350 MW of power. Three units began generating electricity in 1963, with a fourth unit beginning operation in 1967. They supply "peaking power"—extra electricity needed to meet demand when it is needed most—typically hot summer days and cold winter mornings. Cowans Ford Dam impounds the Catawba River to create Lake Norman, the largest man-made body of fresh water in North Carolina. The lake provides water to Lincoln County and the communities of Davidson, Mooresville, Charlotte and Huntersville. The lake was named for former Duke Power president Norman Cocke.

Cross Creek Cemetery

Cross Creek Cemetery is a cemetery located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, near a creek of that name that "meanders for more than a mile from downtown Fayetteville to the Cape Fear River." It was established in 1785. The cemetery is organized into five numbered sections and is managed by a cemetery office within Fayetteville–Cumberland County Parks & Recreation. History The original section, known as Cross Creek Cemetery Number One was established in 1785 and expanded in 1833. It contains approximately 1,170 gravemarkers dating from 1786 to 1964.This cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Fayetteville. After the Civil War ended, the Ladies' Memorial Association of Fayetteville had all soldiers who had been killed in battle—along with those who had died and been buried in various nearby locations—interred (or re-interred) in Cross Creek Cemetery. The group then raised the funds to erect a Confederate Soldiers Monument in Cross Creek, the first Confederate monument in North Carolina; it was dedicated on December 30, 1868. In 1915, the Cross Creek Cemetery Commission was created via an act of the North Carolina General Assembly, providing for the maintenance of the cemetery. Cross Creek Cemetery #1 was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 1998 as a national historic district. In June 2010, "more than fifty headstones were damaged and in disarray" in Cross Creek Cemetery #1, following a report of vandalism. Notable burials Politicians J.

Cross Creek Mall

Cross Creek Mall is a regional shopping mall located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on the 401 Bypass between Morganton Road and the All-American Freeway. The mall contains over 150 stores and covers over 1,000,000 sq ft (93,000 m2). of retail space. Its anchors include Belk, Macy's, and JCPenney. The mall is owned by CBL & Associates Properties. History The mall's 90-acre (36 ha) site was part of a larger 600-acre (240 ha) tract of land owned by Fayetteville, North Carolina developer J.P. Riddle Jr., and was sold in 1970 to Henry Faison, a Charlotte-based developer. The All American Freeway was planned at the time, but the area was predominantly farmland. Construction of the freeway began in May 1974, nine months before the mall opened on February 26, 1975. The mall opened with five anchors, three of which moved from downtown Fayetteville: Sears, Belk, and JCPenney; Miller & Rhoads and Thalhimer's, were new to the area. The mall also had a three screen movie theater named Cross Creek Mall Cinemas I-II-III, which opened two days after the mall's opening on February 28, 1975. The cinema was owned by General Cinema Corporation, and closed on January 23, 2001. Shortly after in 2002, the cinema was replaced with a new food court named Creekside Café. Miller & Rhoads closed in 1985. Thalhimer's became Hecht's in 1992, which in turn became Macy's in 2006. On October 15, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 142 stores nationwide. The final day of Sears was January 6, 2019, ending a nearly 44-year run at the mall. After much speculation, in January 2020, CBL Properties announced Dave & Buster's would be replacing the former Sears location. The Sears was successfully demolished in April of that year. However, it was later revealed that Dave & Buster's was no longer coming to the mall, and that Rooms To Go was in the process of building a location on the former site. Rooms To Go finished construction in late 2021, along with the addition of LongHorn Steakhouse. In December 2022, Main Event, a subsidiary of Dave & Buster's, revealed it was building a location attached to the mall on the outside in place of the former Sears. Construction finished the following year and the grand opening was on August 11, 2023. US Foods CHEF'STORE and Caribbean cuisine Bahama Breeze also announced they would be building locations on the premises of the mall, and would open in the Spring of 2024.

Cupola House (Edenton, North Carolina)

The Cupola House is a historic house museum in Edenton, North Carolina. Built in 1756–1758 (as determined by dendrochronology), it is the second oldest building in Edenton, and the only known surviving example in the American South of a "jutt," or overhanging second floor. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970. Description and history The Cupola House is a two-story gable-roofed house with external brick end chimneys. It is now covered with weatherboards; recent research suggests it may originally have been covered with rusticated siding, similar to the siding still in place on the cupola. Mount Vernon and the Redwood Library have similar siding. The roof is covered with wooden shingles. Two main rooms flank a central passage, which was an uncommon layout in colonial North Carolina but was not rare in other colonies. The unique aspect of the house is its combination of a cupola with an overhanging upper story. The cupola is octagon-shaped and covered in wood that has been cut to imitate stonework. Inside, the house features elaborate finishing which denotes the "social hierarchy" of the rooms. The stair brackets of the staircase in the central hallway feature carved floral decorations and moldings, while the doors leading to the two main rooms are surmounted by pediments. The house includes ornate mantels and woodwork on first and second floors. The cupola is reached from the attic by a "barrel stair," a spiral stair framed within vertical wood sheathing that looks like a large barrel. The house lot was originally more spacious, extending to Edenton Bay. The property was owned by a succession of merchants, including Richard Sanderson, a shipowner. Francis Corbin, the Earl of Granville's land agent, bought the lot in 1756 and built the current residence. The Cupola House is one of several sites of historic Edenton. Other historic sites open for tour include the James Iredell House, Roanoke River Light, Barker House, Chowan County Courthouse and St. Paul's Church.

Dan River Steam Station

The Dan River Steam Station is a power plant in Eden, North Carolina, owned by Duke Energy. The plant comprises three natural gas-fueled combustion turbines, which began operation in 1968.), and two natural gas-fueled combined cycle turbines are planned for the near future. A coal-fired electrical power plant at the site ceased operation in 2012. History The Dan River Steam Station began construction in 1949, and was finished the following year. Coal units 1 and 2 cost a combined $15 million and were, at the time, cutting-edge. The third unit was added six years later, and two natural gas-fueled combined cycle turbines are planned for the near future. The station was the object of a 1971 United States Supreme Court Case, Griggs v. Duke Power Co., in which African-American employees contended that they were discriminated against when Duke required them to possess a high school diploma and/or pass a standardized general intelligence test in order to obtain certain positions at the station, neither of which was found to have bearing on the employee's ability to perform the sought positions. At that time, the education requirements were disproportionately harming African-Americans and the well paying positions were only being filled by white employees. The Court found that the education requirements would only be legal under Title VII if they were reasonably related to the job in question. Therefore, because the education requirements were not reasonably related to the jobs, they were not proper. Coal plant closure The coal-fired plant ceased operation in 2012, and Duke Energy completed demolition of the coal plant buildings in 2017. 2014 Coal ash spill On February 2, 2014, a drainage pipe for a coal ash containment pond burst, sending 39,000 tons of coal ash into the Dan River and causing extensive water pollution. In addition to the coal ash, 27 million gallons of wastewater from the plant was also released into the river. Duke Energy later pled guilty to criminal negligence in its handling of coal ash at the Dan River Plant and at other facilities, and paid substantial fines. In addition, the states affected launched a lawsuit on July 18, 2019, asking that the court declare Duke Energy responsible for the damage done to the environment by the spill. Addition of combined cycle turbines In 2007, Duke Energy began to pursue permission to add two new combined cycle, natural gas-fired, 620 MW generating units to its fleet: one at the Dan River Steam Station, the other at the Buck Steam Station in Rowan County. This was done in order to diversify the company's fuel sources, expand its generating capacity, and to modernize its energy generation by moving away from less efficient, more polluting coal. After the two turbines were added, the three older coal units went offline in 2012. See also List of power stations in the United States References
Daniel Boone Native Gardens

Daniel Boone Native Gardens, located in Boone, North Carolina, United States, has a collection of North Carolina native plants in an informal landscaped design. The gardens are open daily from May to October. History The gardens were planned as a laboratory so that clubs, schools and botanists could study plants within a small area. The Garden Club of North Carolina broke ground in May 1961 on land adjacent to the outdoor theater where Horn in the West is performed. The Asheville landscape architect Doan Ogden designed the layout of the gardens. The gardens officially opened to the public in 1966. Features The wrought iron gates at the entrance were given by Daniel Boone VI, a descendant of famed American frontiersman Daniel Boone. Its main features include a bog garden, stone gatehouse, rockery, grassed allée, wishing well, reflection pool, prayer shrine, rustic bridge and Squire Boone Cabin. Squire Boone Cabin is typical of the cabin in which Daniel Boone lived. The logs are from the cabin of Jesse Boone, Daniel's brother, where Daniel spent much time. The newest addition to the garden, the bog, was dedicated in June 1992.
