The Wesley Heights neighborhood became one of Charlotte's burgeoning suburbs, as part of the post-World War I building boom that peaked in the middle of the decade and ended around 1929. Originally farmland owned by the Wadsworth family (part owners of the Trolley at the time). The Wadsworth House still remains in Wesley Heights and is an Historic Landmark and is currently used as a meeting and conference facility.

This neighborhood consists mainly of craftsman-style homes that were indigenous of many of the houses built around that time. Wesley Heights is just across Interstate 77 from the Gateway Village area of downtown. It is a fine example of Arts & Crafts Architecture and most of its original fixtures, mantles, and craftwork still remain.
