Since 1972 Dilworth has opened its doors and welcomed friends and neighbors to its charming corner of Charlotte in one of Dilworth’s oldest and grandest traditions: the annual Dilworth Home Tour.
The tour is a true community collaboration! We rely on the largesse of our Dilworth business sponsors, the generosity of the Dilworth homeowners willing to welcome those from our community and beyond to tour their lovely homes, and the efforts of several hundred volunteers,
The tour is the DCA’s only fundraiser. A percentage of the proceeds from the tour is dedicated to the local non profit selected by the Dilworth Cares committee. The remainder goes to the DCA’s annual budget to support its efforts to promote and protect the integrity of the Dilworth community.
Response to Recent Media Coverage
Dilworth is a historic district and the neighborhood has been concerned about saving the Leeper & Wyatt building since the property owner filed for demolition on December 8, 2021. Subsequently the DCA has collaborated with 3 different developers in an effort to save the historic building. Since we began working with the petitioner the DCA has consistently maintained that we want to save the building and abide by the ordinance. The DCA and the Dilworth neighbors support saving the Leeper & Wyatt building.
The petition presented at the Council Hearing on Monday, September 18 did not include the technical revisions required by Planning Staff per the UDO. The language regarding the 10 leased off-site parking places was unenforceable. The DCA's request on Monday night was simply to include lease language that is enforceable. The DCA has not opposed any other exception requested by the petitioner and is asking the petitioner to continue to cooperate with us and the Planning Staff in order to save the Leeper & Wyatt building.
