Albion Flats

Albion Flats (sometimes referred to as "Albion Terrace" or simply "The Albion") is a housing unit in downtown Evansville, Indiana. It was designed by the architectural firm Shopbell & Company and built in 1911 as part of a trend to reform crowded living conditions for the working class. It was named after Albion Fellows Bacon, a famed advocate of improved public housing standards.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
