Stop 35 — The Poplar
Address: 301 West 10th Street Year built: 1930 (per FOFW walking tour; some other sources cite 1929) Style: Jacobean Revival Designation: CMHLC historic landmark Type: Apartment building, now condominium
The Poplar at 301 West 10th Street is a Jacobean Revival apartment building. Per Friends of Fourth Ward, The Poplar represents an early example of fashionable apartment living — its elegance and lavishness made it a landmark of the late-1920s Charlotte residential market. A significant design feature: each apartment was designed for maximum natural light and cross-ventilation, which was a deliberate architectural choice rather than a happy accident.
Note on the date
The Friends of Fourth Ward walking-tour document dates The Poplar to 1930. Some other Charlotte sources cite 1929. Mercury Local flags this discrepancy: the date needs a primary-source reconciliation before the building's full profile page ships. Until then, the FOFW-cited 1930 is what appears here.
Status note
Per editorial decision, The Poplar is not a near-term coverage priority for Mercury Local's buildings directory. This walking-tour stop captures the FOFW-side summary; the full building profile will ship when primary sources are acquired.
