Patton Avenue in downtown Asheville is one of the city’s main streets.  This is what it looked like several decades ago.  Notice the building on the left with the four small decorative stone urns on top, and the building next to it further down the street.  The building with the urns was built in 1924 by the Piedmont Electric Company as their office.  In its later years the upper floors were used as studio space for several artists.
