Douglas Ellington House, Historic residence in Asheville, United States.
The Douglas Ellington House is a historic home on a terraced hillside site in Asheville, North Carolina. It combines three connected parts: a two-bay, 1+1⁄2-story brick cottage with a broad-eaved, wood-shingled hip roof; a five-bay central block of uncoursed stone; and a single-room log cabin said to predate the property's purchase by Ellington's brother Kenneth.
Douglas Ellington built the house in 1926 on a terraced hillside site in Asheville. When his brother Kenneth bought the property, a single-room log cabin already stood there, believed to be over 100 years old, and it was kept as part of the composition. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
The property preserves a single-room log cabin that stood on the land when Ellington's brother Kenneth bought it; the family believed it was already over 100 years old. The house itself mixes a brick cottage, an uncoursed stone central block and that log cabin on one terraced hillside site.
