Hotel District
A bronze eagle overlooks a storied hotel district of old Asheville where the stagecoach would stop on the Buncombe Turnpike and deposit spent passengers for overnights. The Eagle Hotel, from the early 1800s, preceded others that came to life in the same neighborhood ~ the Swannanoa, Oxford and Savoy Hotels ~ matriarchs of hospitality. The ornamental bronze eagle was crafted by Dan Millspaugh.
