| Description | 2 Biltmore Plaza and 1 1/2 Brook Street, a
structure which shares both addresses, is a one-and-one-half story
structure containing two gables facing the street, one at each end, with
two gable dormers piercing the center hyphen. Half-timbered detail
remains in the gable ends. 3 Brook Street, next door, is a
one-story symmetrical gable-end structure with the inevitable
pebbledash and half-timbering, and a center gable extension toward the
street. Both of the Biltmore Village commercial buildings are significant as remnants of the extensive design work performed by Richard Sharp Smith in the village and especially as examples of the balance between the commercial and residential areas of the community. By utilizing similar design motifs in both his residential and commercial structures, Smith maintained an architectural symmetry between buildings of varying functions and created a visually pleasing atmosphere in the village. The structure at 3 Brook Street once served as the Biltmore Village Post Office. |
