Description The Asheville City Building is a colorful, massive and eclectic Art Deco masterpiece. Douglas D. Ellington, an architect who came to Asheville in the mid-1920s, designed the eight-story building, which was completed in 1928. Originally proposed as part of a joint City-County Plaza development, the City Hall represents the progressive aspirations of the city in the 1920s. City officials proceeded with Ellington's design even though municipal and county officials failed to agree on a common architect and mode of design. Ellington designed other Asheville landmarks including First Baptist Church, Asheville High School, and the S & W Cafeteria. Ellington stated that the design was 'an evolution of the desire that the contours of the building should reflect the mountain background,' referring to the amazing scenery that surrounds Asheville and serves as the backdrop of City Hall.text source: http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/asheville/cit.htm
