Van Cleave Flats is a Prairie School style apartment building constructed in 1910 in downtown Evansville, Indiana, designed by the architectural firm Shopbell & Company. Built as part of a broader movement to address overcrowded living conditions among the working class, the structure exemplifies early-twentieth-century progressive housing reform. The building was recognized for its historical significance when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
