Johnson, Bruce: Grove Park Inn Arts & Crafts Furniture

The Grove Park Inn opened in scenic Asheville, North Carolina in 1913, at the height of the American Arts & Crafts movement. The craftsmen at Elbert Hubbard's Roycroft Shops were chosen to produce the Arts & Crafts furniture and hand-hammered lighting for what was called "the finest resort hotel in the world." Today the Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa is home to the country's largest collection of Arts & Crafts furnishings.
