Career
[edit]Rodney Court was built in 1928, and is a six-story, L-shaped steel frame apartment building. The frame is sheathed in cinder block and faced with light-colored tapestry bricks. It features cast-stone trimmings with classical motifs and an elaborate cast-stone classically styled parapet.
It once had a large social hall adjoining a rooftop dance floor and roof garden, that has since been converted to a penthouse apartment. It is the last extant luxury apartment built in Wilmington before the Great Depression of the 1930s.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
