Stop 35 — The Poplar
Address: 301 West 10th Street Year built: 1930 (construction began in 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.
