Midtown Plaza, Commercial building in Charlotte, North Carolina
Midtown Plaza is a 17-story commercial building in Charlotte with early 20th-century facade details along Church Street. Today it contains modern office spaces for multiple businesses, with two adjacent parking decks and an outdoor courtyard for tenants and visitors.
Architect William Lee Stoddart designed the building in 1924 during Charlotte's 1920s business district expansion. It established new standards for urban development in the region.

The building sits in downtown Charlotte and is easily walkable, with parking available on the property. The outdoor courtyard offers a quiet spot away from the busy street where you can observe the architectural details at your own pace.
The facade features intricately carved stone ornaments that reflect the high craftsmanship standards of the 1920s. These handmade details are often overlooked but become clearly visible when you examine the exterior closely.
