Historic fire station faces wrecking ball

Charlotte's Historic South End could lose some of its history this spring.  The owner of the historic Dilworth Fire Station No. 2 has rejected an offer from the city and county to buy the property, and has indicated he plans to destroy the 100-year-old building.  The station, built in 1909 to house two horse-drawn fire engines, sits next to the luxury Arlington condos and parking deck. It's a dramatic contrast of old and new.
