Grove Arcade, Historic commercial building in downtown Asheville, United States.
The Grove Arcade features terra cotta tiles covering its exterior walls, ornate metalwork screens, and four entrances marked by plaster winged lions at each corner point.
The Grove Arcade, constructed in 1928 as America's first indoor shopping mall, operated until 1942 when the federal government repurposed it for military operations during World War II.
The building incorporates Italian Renaissance architectural elements, including Venetian Gothic details, Palladian styling, and decorative panels honoring individual craftsmen who worked on its construction.
The building opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering access to local shops and dining establishments.
The structure includes exterior ramps designed by architect Charles Parker, inspired by Biltmore Estate's Rampe Douce, to provide accessible paths to a planned roof garden.
