Arthur G. Odell Jr.

Arthur G. Odell Jr. FAIA (1913–1988) was an American architect in practice in Charlotte, North Carolina, from 1940 to 1982.

He then spent a year abroad, studying in the atelier of Jacques Debat-Ponsan of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

His practice was interrupted by World War II, and in 1941 he enlisted in the Corps of Engineers, and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel.

His Charlotte plan paved the way for the demolition and redevelopment of large portions of the historic city core.

In Raleigh, his plan for the Halifax Mall for the state government north of the North Carolina State Capitol caused widespread demolition, and his now-removed Fayetteville Street Mall to the south severely disrupted the city's existing urban pattern.
