Description
The Drhumor Building Street Scene Asheville NC
Featured in "A Look At Asheville, The Best In Dinning, Shopping, & Sightseeing 2023-2024" book, Then and Now: 20 Asheville Landmarks on page16.
"The Drhumor Building (pronounced dru-MOOR) was constructed in 1895 by Asheville native William Johnston Cocke, who had been a successful lawyer before he became Asheville’s Mayor in 1896."
"The Drhumor Building was designed by local architect Allen L. Melton (1852-1917), who had established his practice in Asheville in 1886. One of his earlier commissions was the Sondley Building, a commercial building, where Allen Melton had his office. It was located just across the street from the Drhumor Building. Unfortunately, except for the Drhumor Building Allen Melton’s work has not survived. "
"Originally, when the Drhumor Building was built in 1895, it featured a roof turret at the corner like an English castle.
When Wachovia Bank purchased the building in 1929, the turret was demolished and the entrance was moved to its present location.
The limestone frieze above the first floor was carved by Frederic Miles, who had just finished work on the Biltmore Estate."
