Do you get to take your dog to work? Not only do my dogs come with me, but sometimes they provide support for my clients :-)

View my blog!

As a real estate agent, I have long enjoyed my dog's company as a regular part of my day. In fact, I have often had clients request that my dogs join us when we are viewing land. Nothing makes hiking on a large tract more enjoyable than watching Fido happily bound through the woods. I

Should your real estate agent be a dual agent? You decide

In North Carolina, our real estate contracts allow an agent to be a dual agent. What is it, and what does that mean for you? Dual agency is when a real estate agent represents the seller AND the buyer in the sale/purchase of the same home. I am using the word "represents" loosely because the only

The Preservation Society is proud to announce that as of December 14, 2023, the Walton Street Park and Pool is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. About the Walton Street Park and Pool:

Located at the southern end of the historically African-American neighborhood known as Southside, Walton Street Park was established by the City of Asheville and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1939. The park was founded as a sanctioned recreational space for the city’s Black population during the years of Jim Crow segregation. From the year of its opening until the eventual end of segregation in Asheville, Walton Street Park and Pool was the sole municipal park and swimming area available to the Black population in Asheville. First named Riverview Park, the park was originally built with a wading pool, tennis and horseshoe courts, and a small playground. In 1947-1948, a poured-concrete pool and a concrete-block bathhouse were constructed in the southwest corner of the park. A softball diamond was added to the park in the 1950s and an asphalt basketball court in the 1960s. The neighborhood around it changed radically during urban renewal in the 1960s and 1970s, yet the park remained relatively unaltered. Today it stands as a rare vestige of the neighborhood, and era, in which it was produced.

In early 2021, with plans moving forward for a new pool at the Dr. Wesley Grant Sr. Southside Center, members of the Southside community expressed concerns to us about the future of the existing Walton Street Pool. With these concerns in mind, along with a desire to recognize the significance of this important place, we began pursuing local and national designation for the historic park and pool. PSABC Board President and Preservation consultant Josi Ward researched and wrote the nominations. The park and pool became listed as a City of Asheville Local Historic Landmark in 2022. And this week it was officially accepted as part of the National Register of Historic Places.

The success of both of these nominations for historic designation celebrates the historic and cultural importance of this long-overlooked park. However, it does not include permanent protections for the future of the site.

PSABC feels strongly that our work does not end with the completion of the designation process. Recent renovations to the park have breathed new life into the landscape, yet the pool remains closed. Without a plan in place for the future of the pool, it will continue to deteriorate. We hope to work with the neighborhood, the broader community, and the City to explore options for the future of the Walton Street Pool.

One detail about Gingerbread Competitions: like a well built home, quality of construction is everything. Gingerbread homes dry out and after a month plus on display, things will start to fall apart if neglected. This would be a much sought after rehab in Asheville
