Addison Apartments was built in 1926 as a nine-story steel-frame building in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
The Classical Revival style reflects 1920s preferences for formal, proportioned residential design in Charlotte's growing downtown. The ordered arrangement of windows and decorative stone elements show how residents of that era valued structure and visual harmony in their homes.
Addison Apartments is a private residential building, so the interior and the portico deck are not open to visitors; the facade and stepped pediment can be seen from the street. The building stands in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The building's design follows a classical three-part structure: a two-story base, six-story middle shaft, and single-story top section that together create visual balance. This proportional approach to tall buildings was a common method used by architects of that era.
