"Art Deco in Asheville" Top 5 Page for this destination Asheville Favorite Tip by matcrazy1

Favorite thing: Asheville offers a lot of Art Deco architecture to see and explore. Four Art Deco masterpieces were designed by North Carolinian famous architect Douglas D. Ellington in 1920' and they all survived in original shape in downtown Asheville:
1. First Baptist Church
2. Asheville City Building
3. S&W Cafeteria
4. Asheville High School
Details in my Things To Do and Off The Beaten Path tips.
But strolling around downtown I also discovered less known Art Deco structures with some pretty or ugly (judge by yourself) but for sure interesting details. Look at my pictures.

Art Deco was a popular design movement from 1910 until 1939. This purely decorative design movement fixed together many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Constructionism, Modernism, Cubism, Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, and Futurism. The best known example of Art Deco art in architecture is probably spire of the Chrysler Building in New York City, built 1928–1930. Sooner or later I have to reach that spire personally :-).
