A textured past that inspires the present.
Our home started life as Lawrence Knitting Mills, fitting in well with North Charlotte’s textile past. Later in life, we housed a cork manufacturer, auto repair shop and even a concrete plant. More important than what was made inside our walls were the people who inhabited the neighborhoods around us. Many of them worked in the neighboring textile mills and gained the sometimes derogatory nickname “lint heads” due to bits of lint that would collect all over them during the work day. This was the inspiration for our name, Lintmen’s, which honors all the mill workers and the people who made our neighborhoods and Charlotte what it is today.
