This year the Preservation Society of Asheville & Buncombe County is pleased to offer five unique properties located in Dr. E. W. Grove’s residential park nestled at the base of Sunset Mountain.
Included in this year’s tour is 51 Lawrence Place, circa 1913, an excellent example of Shingle style architecture of the notable Asheville firm Smith and Carrier and is known for its association with several prominent citizens of Asheville in the first half of the twentieth century. The interior of the home retains most of the original floor plan as shown in the 1913 Smith drawings including the grand living room, which retains all of the detailing as originally built.
Tickets are $35 for non-members or $25 for members. Contact Jessie Landl at 828-254-2343 for more information or to purchase tickets.
