Station # 16...
"Legacy of Design"
by: Dennis Smith
A bench and a visionary young boy honor British born Richard Sharp Smith, supervising architect of the Biltmore House. Smith, who designed the bench to go in his office, remained in Asheville and had profound influence on the city. From the bygone Langren Hotel to the Former Eagles Home to the Masonic Temple, this street has exhibited many buildings designed by Smith and his partner, Albert Heath Carrier. This station also marks the path of the Buncombe Turnpike. |
