Asheville station
Southern Railway Passenger Depot is a historic train station located at Biltmore Village, Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. It was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt and built in 1896 for the Southern Railway. It is a one-story symmetrical structure with a low hipped roof, central porte cochere, wide overhanging eaves, half-timbering, and a pebbledash finish.The station replaced a smaller building that preceded Cornelius Vanderbilt's purchase of land to comprise the Biltmore Estate. The Southern Railway Depot on Depot St. in Asheville was closed in 1968 due to costs and was demolished in early 1969. After this the Biltmore station served as Asheville's station until passenger train service was discontinued in early August of 1975. The station now houses a restaurant. If passenger service to Asheville is restored, a new station will be built.The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
