McNinch House is a famous dining establishment in Charlotte and has been regularly voted on as the most romantic restaurant in the Queen city since opening in 1989. The residence was home to the McNinch family for most of its history.

Samuel Sylvanus McNinch (1867-1929), one of the first owners, was Charlotte’s mayor from 1905 to 1907.

President William Howard Taft visited McNinch when he came to town for the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence celebration on May 20, 1909.

The interior layout of the pink-and-purple Victorian house on the National Register of Historic Places is much the same as it was when the house was built in the 1890s.
