The record — long form
The Dunhill is the Mayfair Manor that opened a month after the crash — the ten-story hotel the eye doctors Matheson and Peeler built on Tryon Street in November 1929, half its hundred rooms for permanent residents, the neoclassical building Louis Asbury designed to stand against the Charlotte skyline when the Depression was already underway.
It's the only one of Charlotte's nine grand hotels still standing — the James Lee Motor Inn years, the decline, the restoration that made it the Dunhill, the Historic Hotels of America member that's long been rumored haunted. The marble and walnut of the doctors' hotel are still there; the ghosts the stories give it are the city's last old hotel keeping its rooms.
The file keeps the Dunhill: the 1929 opening, the doctors' hotel, the Depression timing, and the last survivor of Charlotte's hotel row.
The Dunhill is the archive's Charlotte file — the crash-week opening and the only grand hotel that made it.
Why this file matters

A hotel that outlasted its rivals keeps its rooms — the file's suggestion being that the Dunhill's hold is the timing: the opening a month after the crash that should have killed it, and the survival that made it Charlotte's last old hotel.

Dunhill HotelThe record of claims
Visit NC recounts footsteps and cold spots. The Charlotte hotel's reports are the kind old lodgings accumulate — footsteps after hours, presences in rooms, the house working the night shift. The story is documented as legend — recorded and retold, never verified as fact. The account appears in 'Paranormal Piedmont'. It's the sort of report that survives precisely because it asks you to listen, not look.
