If you’re like us, you’ve driven past the entry monument in front of Charlotte Pipe & Foundry on Morehead Street a million times and wondered, “What is in that gigantic pipe?”

Well, we stopped wondering and pulled over to see. After all, Charlotte Pipe & Foundry is “O.G. CLT.” They were established here over one hundred years ago (1901, in fact) and they are the largest manufacturer of DWV pipe and fittings in the United States. So. what’s inside the pipe? Well … not much. But, this little excursion did satisfy our curiosity & afford us a view of Charlotte few have ever taken the time to see.
