Grove Park was such a successful development in its early years that it -grew beyond ~he o~iginal 1908-1913 and 1914·platted areas east and·vest of Charlotte Street to the north along the major artery of Kimberly Avenue- during the 1920's and 1930's. The later development of the suburb also_has significant streetscapes and period style houses whic~:are distinct from the post World War II residential ~evelop~ent of As~eville around it, and is eligibl€ for the National Register. It is pLanned to expand the Grove Park'Historic District to include these later .. Kimberly Lands" at a future time. The 1908-191_3 and 1914 phases of Grove Park, laid out by landscape desig·ner Chauncey Beadle, have curvilinear streets·, la-r~:;e tree canopies, stone retaining walls, and a grand entry park. Arc,hite~;tu..r..al .styles r~prese_nted. jn_cl.ude CoJ.Dnial Revi'Ia.l: T!..10.c.r R-2'li v·al, Bungalow I American Four·sq'uare I Shingle I N'eo-Classical r Prairie, Georgian Revival, Italian Renaissance, Chateauesque, and Queen ~nne. The district includes 156 princ~pal buildings, all but a handfui of which are single family houses. They are located on beautifully landscaped lots with an average size of one-third to one-half acre. 112 of these buildings are Contributing, and 44 are Non·-con t r i but in g . In addition , the non~ in ate d are a con t a ins 7 2 · outbuildings; 6 o Contributing and 12 Non-contributing. Only 25% of the total number of buildings are Non-contributing, indicating that the district retains a strong historic character. THE LANDSCAPE OF GROVE PARK flanning_ E. W. Grove wanted his Grove P~rk,' like every other real estate venture he engaged in, in Asheville, to be innovative and exciting. Some. of his other endeavors in Asheville such as the Grove Arcade, and. the Battery Park Hot e 1 were on .the cut t i n g e.d g e of des i g n a !l d planning, changing tJ1e face of downtown Aaheville forever. Whereas Montford (1890-1925) ~ad been a,streetcar suburb, Grove took up sante o~ the ::-_; cre(:!t,.cc:'lr 1 1r.es in· :'lis new -developme!lt and re.placGd them "Vv~ i th an autoway. This fascination with the auto is clearly obvious in the system of alleyways present throughout the neighborhood, almost all of which were indicated on the original plats. ( 1908, 1913, and 1914). One and two story garages, many of them incorporating architectural detailing similar to the main house they served, were located along these alley~ays for the utmost in convenience for the residents. OMB ApprovAl No IJh-<XJIB United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet 7 2 Section number ___ Page ____ The street layout itself in the Grove Par1< development, as mentioned earlier, broke all earlier patterns in Asheville. Chauncey Beadle of the .Biltmore House began laying out curving streets under canopies of trees, sidewalks, and stone retaining walls almost immediately after Grove bought the first piece of land for Grove Park in .1908, and later, ca. 1914, the grassy, tree-lined median on Sunset Parkway. The grand entry park on Charlott~ Street with its stone shelters, open grassy field, and large deciduous trees was a hallmark not only of the Grove~ Park neighborhood,. :but of the "Olmstedian" landscape philosophy in general. 'Olmsted, known as the "father of Landscape Architecture", was an avid proponent of the naturalistic style of landscaping which stemmed from the romantic /English landscapes of the 18th century in Europe. This style of \landscaping including attention to the natural topography, parklike \settings including large canopies of trees and open spaces, use of \ I I I ~atural mater1als such as stone, and curvlng, sweep1ng street ,hayout.

  • Battery Park Wiki the One Standing Today Is 14 Stories Tall and Was Built in by Edwin W
    Battery park wiki The one standing today is 14 stories tall and was built in by Edwin W. Grove , during a time of increased tourism in the North Carolina mountains. It replaced a Queen Anne style hotel [2] which stood feet tall. The name came from the fact that Confederate forces used the site for batteries of artillery. It was designed by Philadelphia architect Edward Hazlehurst in "spectacular" Queen Anne style. Once the railroad reached Asheville in , the mountain town attracted 20 passenger trains a day from the nation's largest cities, and people found out what a wonderful place the community was to visit. One reason for visiting Asheville was the clean mountain air, which helped problems such as tuberculosis. Fine hotels were built, and Coxe's Battery Park Hotel was the best of these. For one thing, its location on Asheville's tallest hill provided magnificent views. The Rockefeller and Lorillard families were among those who stayed in the Battery Park. Another notable guest was George Vanderbilt , who from his window could see the land that would one day become Biltmore Estate. By , the Asheville Citizen reported the Battery Park had changed management three times. Edwin Wiley Grove bought the Battery Park in In he announced that it would remain a resort hotel for winter and summer, while he would add a second year-round hotel nearby. Plans changed later, however. People hated to see the old Battery Park Hotel torn down, but Grove, known also for the Grove Park Inn , built a fine hotel in the same location.

  • The Transformation of the Battery Park Landscape in Asheville, North Carolina: 1900-1930
    GREENE, MARY BENNETT, M.S. The Transformation of the Battery Park Landscape in Asheville, North Carolina: 1900-1930. (2008) Directed by Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll. 65 pp. This research deals with the urban development of Asheville, North Carolina in the first half of the twentieth century and, specifically, the transformation of an urban hillside known as Battery Park. It is a case study of how one person and his beliefs about technology, modernization, and commercial appeal had the power to forever change the city’s form. In a very short time period, E.W. Grove transformed a bucolic twenty-five- acre Battery Hill with a rambling Victorian hotel into a flattened automobile-centered commercial district with two skyscraper hotels. During this period, Grove concentrated his financial investments in this area, and worked diligently through many channels to ensure their success. Focusing on the time frame of 1900 to 1930, this investigation covers the Battery Park changes by combining three methods: the careful study of the existing landscape, historic visual analysis, and the use of traditional archival evidence. The ultimate goal of the project is to address the Battery Park landscape as a physical representation of the changing values in Asheville’s history. The research traces the physical, functional, and technological evolution of this urban landscape and relates these changes to national, regional, and local history. It examines why certain values in Asheville took precedence over others and whether certain themes, such as transportation,

These profiles were undertaken to illuminate the characteristics of subsidized housing and the process by which they are preserved — that is to say, refinanced and renovated. The five subjects of the case studies were selected to represent a variety of geographic locations, communities, and real estate markets; a range of types of tenants: e.g., family, elderly, and formerly homeless; and different types and sizes of nonprofit owner organizations.
