Description
As I stood in downtown Asheville on my first afternoon there, I was unfamiliar with the city but the moment I spotted this towering Gothic Revival building, I knew it had to be a special part of the Asheville skyline. Sometimes landmark architecture is just not subtle!
After I was home I checked into the history of this beautiful old building and it has been one of the central buildings of the city every since its construction in the 1920's. Apparently it once even had a searchlight on the top to draw visitors to downtown Asheville. You don't get much more pivotal than that, eh?
For me, personally though, it's just the beautiful old architectural lines that draw me. I really like the fantasy of Gothic Revival and an era where architecture moved forward while looking back with on Medieval Gothic with rose tinted glasses.
