Abstract:

The Ravenscroft School, the oldest standing building in downtown Asheville was built in the mid-1840s. It served as an Episcopal school for boys until the late 1890s. The Ravenscroft School is the recent subject of preservation by the Historic Preservation Fund of North Carolina as one of the finest examples of classical revival architecture in North Carolina.
