The grand Victorian mansion known as Richmond Hill was built in 1889 as the private residence of ambassador and congressman Richmond Pearson. Designed by James G. Hill, it was one of the most elegant and innovative structures of its time. It had running water, ten master fireplaces, a communications system, and a pulley-operated elevator for transporting baggage from one floor to the next.
Despite being a half hour's carriage ride from Asheville, the Richmond Hill estate was a center of social and political activity for many years. The Queen Anne-style Mansion’Äîwith its grand entrance hall and spacious rooms’Äîcould accommodate large gatherings, and Richmond's beautiful and vivacious wife, Gabrielle, was a gracious hostess. The main house was surrounded by rolling grounds with gardens, a greenhouse, vineyards, orchards, a wood and ice house, a dairy, and pasturelands.
