The Biltmore
Industries complex of buildings is situated on an eleven and one-half acre tract
adjacent to the
Grove Park Inn Resort
& Spa. The seven buildings of the grouping,
which vary in size and form, lie in a row along the top of a ridge. These
cottages were constructed in 1917 under the supervision of Fred Seely, designer
and owner of the Grove Park Inn. The purpose was to provide workshops for the
production of high-quality crafts and fine hand-woven cloth that would be
pleasing to the workers, and to provide a special to visitors at the Grove Park
by offering the opportunity to observe the manufacturing process and to purchase
completed items.
Today the Biltmore Industries Buildings house the Grovewood Gallery, the
Estes-Winn Automobile Museum, the
North Carolina Homespun Museum and the Grovewood Cafe.
