Biltmore-Oteen Bank Building

The Biltmore-Oteen Bank Building is significant as a structure of high architectural quality that contributes significantly to the character of present-day Biltmore Village.  The structure is an important example of the type of construction which took place in the years immediately following the Vanderbilt era of the village's history, a time during which the growth of nearby Asheville threatened to destroy the original character of the community.  The physical development of the Asheville area during the 1920s was marked by well-executed architectural work, of which the Biltmore-Oteen Bank Building is one of only a few examples in Biltmore Village.
