The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗In 1916, a substantial flood in Asheville, North Carolina, damaged the Biltmore Estate. The Biltmore Company sold the affected land to lessen the upkeep and tax burden. The town of Biltmore Forest was chartered in 1923 and was developed on this land. The first houses were built on White Oak Road. In 1929, Asheville annexed a portion of Biltmore Forest, but that action was reversed in 1935 by an act of the North Carolina legislature.
The Judge Junius G. Adams House, Raoulwood (Thomas Wadley Raoul House) and Gunston Hall are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
