Demens-Rumbough-Crawley House
Demens-Rumbough-Crawley House, Victorian residence on Park Avenue North in Asheville, United States.
The two-story brick dwelling features a low hipped roof, stone foundation, geometrical ornamentation, and a three-stage tower with bay windows.
Peter Demens, a Russian-born sawmill operator who established St. Petersburg, Florida, constructed this Victorian house around 1890 in Asheville's West End neighborhood.
Under Ida Jolly Crawley's ownership from 1919, the residence transformed into a Museum of Art and Archaeology filled with art collections and geological specimens.
The property includes a frame garage and spans 6 acres of land, positioned on elevated ground near the French Broad River.
The structure remains the only surviving building from the 1890s Prospect Park development, marking a period of substantial growth in Asheville.
