Asheville today is a city where architecture stood still for several generations. It is distinctive because in the year time stopped, 1929, it was a boom town-a home for the Vanderbilts, a resort for Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and other historic luminaries, and a mecca for rising young architects following in the footsteps of one of the masters, Richard Morris Hunt, who built the lavish Biltmore.
