| Description: | Seely began construction of seven buildings and shops adjacent to the Grove Park Inn that complimented the Inn's organic architecture. The buildings form a compact grouping of cottage-like buildings with stucco walls, casement windows and broad sloping roofs that mimic those of the Inn. Built to provide the youth of the Asheville area the opportunity "to become productive and useful citizens" through training in the creation of fine handmade crafts. | ||
