Right in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina is Pack Square; named after George W. Pack who deeded the land to the people of Asheville a for a park in 1901.  The name "Pack Square" entered the city vocabulary in 1903 and ever since people, cars and commerce have been busy crisscrossing this mid-point of the city.  Additionally, Pack was motivated to erect a monument to his friend Zebulon B. Vance (d. 1894), state senator, three term governor of North Carolina, humanist, secessionist, and champion of the common man.   That is the ‘Vance’ obelisk in front of 1 North Pack Square and the current roof restoration project.

The building is leased to various tenants but primarily serves as the headquarters of The Biltmore Company.

We had the pleasure recently to recreate one of the Biltmore's copper ridges. Consisting of over 900 individual parts, it took a lot of time and attention to detail to make, and even look for ways to improve, what was so beautiful and withstood nature for 120 years.

The entire process of carefully removing the old ridge, replicating it, and installing the new one took about six months to complete! To understand the magnitude of this home, this is just one of the many ridges that will need restoration in the future.
