About Historic Melrose
The Historic Melrose Building in the Orange Mound Community is undergoing a redevelopment project as part of the city of Memphis’ Accelerate Memphis initiative, a 200-million-dollar investment in the city’s neighborhoods. The 40,000-square-foot building, built in 1938 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001, will be transformed into a multi-use facility that meets the needs of the community while preserving its historical significance.
The redevelopment is a collaborative effort between the City of Memphis, John Stanley, and Self + Tucker Architects, who is serving as both the project developer and architect. The project aims to serve as a national model for historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and sustainability.
The building will feature a library, genealogy center, small café, and 28 senior apartments on the second and third floors. It will be equipped with state-of-the-art systems and designed to be highly energy efficient, ensuring that the community can enjoy its amenities while minimizing its impact on the environment.
