Albemarle Park was one of Asheville’s earliest planned residential developments. William Greene Raoul originally purchased the 34-acre Deaver farm in 1886 as a summer retreat for his family. But a decade later, the farm was transformed into a unique picturesque “cottage” development that both maintained and maximized the site’s natural beauty and rustic character. It is more than an interesting neighborhood of curving streets, towering trees and old houses. It is a nationally recognized landmark in planned residential design, a rare surviving example of late nineteenth century “resort park” development.
