Historic Sights in Asheville, North Carolina
The Grove Park Inn remains an Arts & Crafts icon and a mecca for the movement’s enthusiasts.
Asheville, North Carolina, is a city flanked by two famous bookends: the 1895 Biltmore Estate and the 1913 Grove Park Inn. Gilded Age Victorian to the south, austere Arts & Crafts to the north.
In between, like a collection of books, is an array of architectural delights—from Queen Anne and Colonial Revival to English Tudor and Art Deco, with enough bungalows mixed in to earn it the distinction of Arts & Crafts capital of the South. Combined, they create a city that’s delightful to explore by car or by walking through the quirky, artsy, active downtown.
As cities go, Asheville was a late bloomer. Nestle
