| 1924 Proctor House |
Today's post is continuing with the Montford neighborhood of Asheville Holiday House Tour from last week. The Proctor House was built in 1924 in the Georgian Cottage style with a stucco finish. The current owners have been renovating for the past five years, combining traditional and contemporary elements. They allowed us to view the whole house but I prefer to keep the bedrooms private except for the unique Christmas tree in vibrant colors in one bedroom.
On Cumberland Circle we visited the Abbington Green Bed and Breakfast Inn. Local architect Richard Sharp Smith created this home in 1908 and finished it in 1909 as a Colonial Revival that incorporates shingles over weatherboards., Doric posts, molded trim and a central gable.

The original floor plan worked well as an inn - all the rooms are used as what they are in the original house. The only room that was redone was the kitchen to make it more usable and modern. Gingerbread houses decorated the main rooms downstairs along with greenery and festive trees.

The inn was booked full for the weekend so they only showed one guest room for the tour and it was lovely. Hubby and I love to stay in B&Bs when we travel although the rates have gone up considerably in recent years. Years ago they used to be the budget way to travel - now not so much!

It is such a blessing to have all these people preserving their properties. I consider it a museum community that boasts of well preserved architecture and tradition!
