Abstract:

The Preservation Society of Asheville and Buncombe County, Parks and Recreation Department, and Historic Resources Commission, restored a historic landmark associated with a North Carolina native son. How it may contribute to the future of other writers is the plan to transform this cabin, along with another nearby structure, into a writers’ conference center.
