B & B Motor Company Building

The B & B Motor Company Building is a two-story auto showroom and service center built in 1925 in Asheville, North Carolina. It is a reinforced concrete and structural clay tile building faced in brick, with limestone trim and a high decorated parapet.

Built in 1925 during Asheville's early automobile boom, this building stood at the center of Coxe Avenue's development as the city's first automotive district. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, marking its historical significance for understanding the region's automotive era.

The building served as a vital hub for the emerging automobile culture in Asheville, helping residents purchase and service their vehicles during the early motorization era. It reflects how the community adapted to and embraced transportation technology in their daily lives.

The building is now a protected historic site accessible from the street, where visitors can observe the original brick exterior and sturdy structural elements from outside. It sits on Coxe Avenue in central Asheville and is easily reached on foot.

The building's 1925 structure mixes reinforced concrete with structural clay tile, and its brick facade carries limestone trim and a high decorated parapet. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, four years before the nomination file recorded its use as an auto showroom and service center.
