Abstract:
Lured by the mountain scenery and promising opportunities of Asheville, Russian-born entrepreneur and builder Peter A. Demens arrived in Asheville in 1889. Although a short term resident of North Carolina, Demens left behind three known landmarks, two of which survive: one of the state's finest Romanesque Revival buildings, and a most unusual private residence.
