112 Tryon Plaza, Art Deco office building in downtown Charlotte, United States
112 Tryon Plaza is a 22-story Art Deco office building that rises at the intersection of Trade Street and Tryon Street in downtown Charlotte. The structure features a striking vertical facade with careful detailing typical of the expressive office buildings of that era.
The building was constructed in 1926 by First National Bank and was then the second tallest structure in North Carolina. It remained Charlotte's highest building for 35 years and defined the city's skyline during an important decade of its growth.
The ground floor still displays the original bank lobby with ornate materials that reflect 1920s architectural preferences for financial institutions. The spaces tell a story of how banks once expressed their power and stability through lavish design.
The building is easy to reach since it sits at a central intersection in the business district with clear visibility from the streets. It has parking options and services that make it convenient to visit or view the facade.
The building is the only commercially used office condominium available for purchase in Charlotte's Uptown district. This rarity makes it an uncommon example of private ownership in an area typically dominated by rental spaces.
