Grove Arcade

The Grove Arcade in located on Battery Hill in downtown Asheville, North Carolina was built in 1929 by E.W. Grove. When the Arcade opened in 1929 it held numerous shops and offices, just as it does today. When I visited Asheville I went to the Grove Arcade early in the morning as the shops were opening up. It was really nice to beat the crowds and enjoy the gorgeous interior architecture. The shops and restaurants inside of the Grove Arcade really showed off the uniqueness of Asheville. For example, you can find handicrafts and art at Alexander & Lehnert, Mountain Made, and Asheville NC Homecrafts,
