Apex Historic District, Historic district in Apex, North Carolina, US.
The Apex Historic District centers around Salem Street with Renaissance Revival buildings featuring classic facades and detailed architectural elements throughout the area.
Following devastating fires in 1905 and 1911, downtown Apex owners reconstructed their properties using fire-resistant brick materials, shaping the current architectural landscape.
The district contains 60 buildings from 1870 to 1940, representing architectural styles including Bungalow, Craftsman, Queen Anne, Classical Revival, and Italianate designs.
Visitors can explore the district through guided walking tours that highlight notable structures, while numerous art galleries, bakeries, restaurants, and boutiques line Salem Street.
The town earned its name for being the highest elevation point on the Chatham Railroad line between Richmond, Virginia, and Jacksonville, Florida.
