Charlotte Mint - After The War

After The War

Federal troops used the offices for the first few years of Reconstruction. In 1867, the U.S. government designated it an assay office. In 1873, the General Assembly of North Carolina petitioned Congress to reopen the mint at Charlotte. This request was denied.

The Assay office operated until 1913 when the gold supply was quickly dwindling. From 1917 to 1919, the Charlotte Woman's Club met in the building. It also served as a Red Cross station during World War I.
