In 1921, several local businessmen formed the Rankin Apartments Company, which proposed to build an 8-story, modern apartment building for which Rogers drew the plans. The Charlotte News of March 16, 1921, referred to it as the “Million Dollar Apartment House” with “many new features.” It is not clear whether the project was accomplished.
