Tilt on Trade circe 1960

Today, the building TILT RESIDES IN is still the original structure BUILT IN 1906. The original tenant of the building was The New York Cafe, making it one of the first New York-themed restaurants in Charlotte. In 1945 Mr. George Miller bought the cafe and transformed it into a haberdashery called, "Miller's Cleaners". He offered dry cleaning, sold the typical Fedora, and repaired men's shoes.

The Miller family went on to rent out the building to a group of individuals who created one of Charlotte's first nightclubs, Liquid Lounge. Then in 2007 Tilt on Trade was created.

the name “TILT” was created based on the physical structure, as the building rises 13 inches from front to back. Today the owners work hard to PRESERVE the rustic charm of yesterday and are proud to preserve one of Charlotte's original landmarks.
