Melwood Apartments is a historic apartment building at the northeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Hamilton Street in Evanston, Illinois. Built in 1901, the three-story building was one of the first apartment buildings in Evanston. Its construction sparked an outcry in the surrounding neighborhood, which had consisted entirely of single-family houses; the controversy was a precursor to further fights over zoning in Evanston, which ultimately led to the city passing the state's first zoning law in 1921. Architect Wilmore Alloway designed the building with elements of various popular architectural styles of the period. The building features Colonial Revival entrances, Richardsonian Romanesque columns, and Neoclassical ornamentation.
