The Aston
61 Church Street
Constructed around 1928 by Gilliland Stikeleather, the four-story Aston was intended to be Asheville's most grand apartment residence. However, the Great Depression struck and the building was never finished to the extent and luxury which was intended.
The Aston sold more than a decade later to F.E. and Charles B. Branson of Canton, N.C., and continued to be passed down to Branson's relatives until it was purchased in 2001 by a group of local developers.
Surrounded by trees and three stunning churches, The Aston offers urban living in a quiet setting and is the only downtown residence currently featuring greenway space. The Aston is now home to 14 residential condominiums with some units still offered by the developer. Historic tax credits are possible with the purchase of a condominium in The Aston.
