Artwork Description:
I photographed this in 2001 from from my 8th floor [west] window in the Flat Iron Building in downtown Asheville, North Carolina. From there one can often see quite a vista. This is part of the panorama that was called THE VIEW THAT MADE ASHEVILLE FAMOUS. This view was much admired from 1886 through 1922, when seen [ about 600 feet away to the northwest, at exactly the same altitude of my window ] from the western veranda of the old Battery Park Hotel, which crested that [ since removed ] ancient highest-hilltop-in-town, formerly known as Sacred Land, then Stony Hill, and later Porter's Hill. [ Renamed BATTERY HILL, when Union forces approached Asheville from the northwest,in 1864. ]
