Barringer Drive

Barringer Drive is named for Osmond L. Barringer, the remarkable man who developed the Revolution Park neighborhood through which the street runs. In the 1st half of the twentieth century, he was one of
Charlotte's most colorful promoters, owner of the city's first
automobile (a steam-powered Locomobile, in 1900), co-owner of the first
Charlotte Speedway in 1924, among other
highlights. CMS's Barringer School is also named for him.
