Historic Information: 1) Myrtle Square is the most sophisticated example of a garden court multi-family housing property type in Charlotte. Garden court communities have their genesis in the English Garden City Movement and gained popularity in Europe due to the massive need for housing that arose from the destruction of World War One and the rapidly urbanizing effects of industrialization. Natural spaces, most often demonstrated with a central courtyard, and common areas were utilized to facilitate interaction and community involvement among urban residents. 2) Myrtle Square is a rare local example of Art Moderne architecture and is indeed a rare residential example of this architectural style.
