Hardee Apartments
Also known as: Jarrell Apartments
Why it's listed
Built around 1924 at 1102 North Main Street in High Point, this two-story stuccoed frame building holds four mirror-image apartments, two per floor. Spanish Mission details mark the facade: massive two-tiered corner porches, shaped parapets with tile coping, and green-tiled visor roofs on heavy brackets. Inside, each unit is five rooms deep, with a living room and dining room divided by French doors, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a large butler's pantry. The exterior remains largely intact. The building rose in Johnson Place, the city's first major streetcar suburb, as High Point's population jumped from 14,302 in 1920 to 36,745 in 1930. Constance Charles Hardee had it built and kept ownership for about three decades. Early tenants were managers and professionals similar to the neighbors in nearby mansions. It is considered locally significant for its architecture and as a rare survivor of early 1920s upscale apartments in the city.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues local architectural significance under Criterion C as a simple but bold example of Spanish Mission style and a rare survivor of early 1920s upper-class apartments in High Point. It reflects the high quality of housing built in the city's north end during a period of rapid growth and the demand for up-scale apartments.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary: it recognises significance and does not restrict what a private owner may do without federal money or permits.
