What is the white stone on the walls inside of the arcade made out of? Limestone, concrete or something else?

Great question! The white, porous walls are meant to resemble travertine, a kind of limestone loved by Michelangelo. To save money, Italian plasterers used a process they’d invented to simulate it by crumbling dried plaster into a wet mixture to create the bubbles and impurities, similar to limestone deposits in streams.

how does the grove arcade affects n.c

Massive tourist draw. It is a remarkable piece of architecture with marble walls and floors complimented by beautiful splashes of wrought iron railing. The stores are higher end artsy and pseudo hippie. It gets a lot of road traffic because it is located in the downtown area of funky street musicians, stores and a wide variety of shops, all within walking distance. Lots of income there for both the city and the state.

Is parking free on Sunday

A wonderful collection of shoppes! The arcade opens at 8am but the shops don’t open till 10am. Spend some time getting breakfast around the corner if you can!

Perhaps not what I was expecting based on reviews and online information? Unique building with interesting architecture and history. Outside are some tables of local crafts. Inside are a few small shops and places to eat. If you are visiting and out exploring the streets it's an interesting walk through.

One of the popular place to be in Asheville is Grove Arcade. It was very beautiful and also a center of attraction. Didnt visited any store in particular as It was overwhelming looking at the place. The holiday mode was still on. The christmas tree and the lighting were fascinating. Loved the stores from outside but due to time constraint couldnt visit any of them.

This is a very nice place, however, the shopping could be way better based on the building. I have heard rumors of a "restructure" if they are true this will be a great place to shop in about 6 months!

Great spot to feel the light of the outdoors, indoors! When the weather's not great, this is a bright, open spot to come to. Quaint shops and small tables line the atrium, including a side entrance to Malaprops - an amazing bookstore and coffee shop and champagne bar!

The stores weren’t appealing at all. We were in and out in 5 minutes and only walked into a furniture store, which was good if that’s what you’re shopping for. Stay on the streets for the best shops.

I love this shopping mall~ Definitely worth a visit even if just to admire the building. Although I've been visiting since I was 12, the atmosphere still leaves me spellbound ( definitely look up when you walk inside ). Favorite shop inside is Asheville NC Home Crafts, such beautiful yarn and tool options as well as handmade gifts! I apprenticed with one of their artists a long time ago when the shop was in a different location in the building and still use those skills today~ There's also outdoor vendor space where local artists can sell their work, very well designed space! The history of the building is worth looking into as well~ This a very special place to me, I hope others enjoy it as much as I do. <3

Once a US Government building for military operations. The Grove Arcade has been transformed into a adaptive reuse miracle. Used for a variety of purposes, the structure contributes greatly to the streetscape and historic aesthetic of downtown Asheville.

Small indoor/outdoor shopping mall with some unique items in an old converted federal building. Not very busy during the week. Has a few restaurants around the outside that looked good for lunch or dinner. Also, has a nice coffee shop. Parking around the outside is metered.

I moved away from Asheville at the end of 2015 and when I moved back March of 2019 I was pleasantly surprised of all the “little upgrades” downtown has gotten, especially the Grove Arcade. Being able to use a credit card for parking is awesome 😄 I purposely stopped at the bank to get a roll of quarters before coming becuase I remembered before I moved away that’s all the meters would take. So glad to see the parking at the Grove Arcade is now modernized making it easier to update your time while you’re shopping in all the great establishments 💖

The name does not do this place justice. The exterior of this giant building is ringed with a variety of good restaurants and you'll also find great craft booths set up along the Battery Park side, but once you've explored the exterior, make sure you don't miss the interior of this building. (There are four entrances, one at the middle of each side.) It is architecturally and historically a treat to behold and its history is illustrated on tablets at the center, around the elevator. The interior also houses a good number of quaint little shops of interesting variety and if your feet are tired from a long day of exploring, there's always "Wake", a luxurious foot spa located right in there, too!

Historical gem in downtown. Houses offices upstairs and little shops downstairs and outside. It's a small elegant mall! Come inside for clothing, crystals, jewelry, and other unique handcrafted arts! Tour the outside for restaurants, a wine bar, a champagne bookstore, and an outside craft market with local vendors!

Absolutely beautiful historic structure in pristine condition. Shops are mostly local and a bit pricey, but it's worth a walk around just to admire the building itself. So glad this structure has survived all these years. Check out the middle of the building for some posters with history of the place.

This whole town is an incredible step back in time. I spent hours just walking around & looking at the unique buildings & the old quaint streets. The Grove Arcade was especially interesting. All independent owners displaying their crafts. No commercial junk, just authentic wares. I highly recommend going to the Grove Arcade as you discover Asheville.
