The Grier-Rea House
;void(null))
Unquestionably one of the older plantation houses surviving in this portion of Mecklenburg County. The house is a rare survivor from the rural built environment and landscape which once dominated this portion of Mecklenburg County. Moved approximatly one mile from its original location by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission, the house now sits in a trophy location at the corner of Rea and Providence Roads.

A True Survivor
According to Rea family lore, the house was originally built about 1804 by Reverend Isaac Grier (1776-1843), who located it approximately halfway between the Providence and Sardis Presbyterian Churches, where he preached.Born in Georgia the son of Robert Grier of Pennsylvania and Mary Livingston of Ireland, he attended Dickinson College, from which he graduated in 1800. After two years of theological study, he was ordained by the Second Presbytery in 1802, and was called to preach at the Sardis and Providence Churches in Mecklenburg County, and the Tirzah Church in Union County. In 1808, he also temporarily took over the care of Little Steele Creek (which was separate from the Steele Creek Church, and later reunited with it), and in that same year was married to Isabella Reynolds. In 1815, he was demitted from Providence Church. Reverend Grier died in 1843.
