McNinch House

The property at 511 North Church Street was bought by Vinton Liddell in 1891 for $3, 000. The house that stands on that lot now was built by Mr. Liddell and was the residence of the McNinch family for most of its history. Mr. Sam McNinch, the 1st of four Sam McNinches, served as Mayor of Charlotte from 1905 to 1907. At his invitation, President Taft came to Charlotte and visited in the McNinch home. In 1926, S. S. McNinch (Sam the First) passed away and was survived by four kids, one of whom, Miss Mattie McNinch, never married and resided in the home until 1978.
