Description

In 1929 the historic Grove Arcade in downtown Asheville, North Carolina was completed. At one time the arcade was closed and taken over during WWII by the Federal Government because of it's safe location. Today the Grove Arcade includes shops, restaurants, offices and 42 luxury apartments.
"It is generally conceded that the Arcade Building would do justice to a city many times the size of Asheville. It is by far the finest structure in the South and there are few, if any, finer in the entire country.
E.W. Grove, 1927
"The Grove Arcade, also known as the Arcade Building or the Asheville Federal Building, is a historic commercial and residential building in Asheville, North Carolina, in its downtown historic district. It was built from 1926 to 1929, and is a Tudor Revival and Late Gothic Revival style building consisting of two stacked blocks. The lower block is a rectangular slab with rounded corners; it is capped by the second block, a two-tier set-back story."
