It was constructed between 1925 and 1930 and was designed by an unknown architect.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is of high architectural quality and contributes significantly to the character of Biltmore Village. It is presented as an important example of construction after the Vanderbilt era, when growth from nearby Asheville threatened the village's original character. It is described as one of only a few well-executed 1920s architectural works in the village.","narrative":"Two stories tall and thin, with a wedge-shaped plan, this Georgian Revival commercial building stands at 12 Lodge Street in Biltmore Village near Asheville, North Carolina. It was constructed between 1925 and 1930, and its architect is unknown. The facade combines English bond brickwork with concrete detailing, Doric pilasters, and a range of classical ornament. The building dates from the years after the Vanderbilt era, when the growth of Asheville threatened to change the village's original character. Its design quality makes it one of only a few examples of 1920s architecture in the village, and it contributes strongly to the streetscape that visitors see today. Its significance rests on its craftsmanship and its role in documenting how the village developed after the Vanderbilt period.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.507102-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/82/7172/47717282/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/79001673.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001673/cc2d8fb101-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79001673/cc2d8fb101-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Teemu08","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Biltmore-Oteen_Bank_Building.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Teemu08</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Biltmore-Oteen_Bank_Building.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717282","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biltmore%E2%80%93Oteen_Bank_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17985911"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/buncombe-county/biltmore-oteen-bank-building-79001673/"}
