They are thought to be part of the cottage work designed by Richard Sharp Smith.","why_significant":"The cottages are significant as isolated examples of Richard Sharp Smith's residential cottage design in Biltmore Village. They are also tied to George W. Vanderbilt's concept for the community, shaped by Richard Morris Hunt, Frederick Law Olmsted and Smith. They keep much of their original fabric and share the massing and design of the Biltmore Village Cottage District.","narrative":"Two neighboring cottages at 18 Angle Street and 75 Hendersonville Road stand in the western part of Biltmore Village in Asheville. Dating to about 1900 and later remodelled, they appear to be part of the many cottages designed by architect Richard Sharp Smith. The Angle Street house has a steeply pitched roof, a one-story porch, shed dormers and brick gable-end chimneys. The Hendersonville Road house has multiple clipped gables, an interior brick chimney and a gable-end facade. Brick veneer has changed their appearance, yet the original half-timbering, pebbledash walls and overall massing can still be seen. They were listed for their link to Smith's career and to George W. Vanderbilt, who employed him, and for how closely they match the cottage district in design. Built to provide modern housing that fit the village's architecture, they show how widely Smith's design motifs were used across the community Vanderbilt envisioned with Richard Morris Hunt and Frederick Law Olmsted.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Richard Sharp Smith (apparently designed by)","architectural_style":null,"criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Altered somewhat by brick veneer, but original half-timbering, pebbledash and massing are still evident.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:57.788222-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/38/7173/47717338/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/79001672.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001672/d63d89d8eb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001672/d63d89d8eb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"rossograph","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Biltmore_Village_Cottages.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">rossograph</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Biltmore_Village_Cottages.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"66000586","name":"Biltmore Estate","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/biltmore-estate-66000586/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717338","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biltmore_Village_Cottages","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17985910"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/buncombe-county/biltmore-village-cottages-79001672/"}
