A boutique condominium in the 1905 North Carolina Medical College building
Settlers Place is the boutique mid-rise condominium in Historic Fourth Ward at 229 North Church Street. The site originally held the North Carolina Medical College, a 1905 Colonial Revival building designed by architect James Mackson McMichael (1870–1944).
Address note
Settlers Place is sometimes listed on "W 6th Street" and described as "adjacent to Settlers' Cemetery." Neither is correct. Mecklenburg County records address all 21 homes at 229 North Church Street. Settlers' Cemetery is nearby in Historic Fourth Ward, but it does not adjoin the building's lot.
See also: this building is stop 47 on the Historic Fourth Ward walking tour, which documents the NC Medical College history and architect James Mackson McMichael in the broader neighborhood context.
Correction to an earlier version of this page (2026-04-24)
An earlier version of this page said the site once held a Charlotte "women's college." The original 1905 building was the NC Medical College, designed by architect James Mackson McMichael (1870–1944), per the Friends of Fourth Ward self-walking tour (stop 47).
