Description The Grove Arcade was the grand dream of Edwin Wiley Grove, a self-made millionaire who moved to Asheville in 1910. By 1915, he had completed the Grove Park Inn and become involved in other civic projects. Grove understood that a successful city needed a vibrant downtown. In the early 1920's, he began plans to build an elegant new building to enliven the downtown of the city he had come to love. He conceived of the Arcade as 'the most elegant building in America'and as a new kind of retail center. Architect Charles N. Parker designed the Arcade, which was originally envisioned as a 5-story base with a 14-story tower, filled with shops, offices, and living spaces. Grove died in 1927, two years before the building was completed.text source: grovearcade.comMore information:http://www.grovearcade.com/files/GA_BriefHistory.pdf
