E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through project design:
The applicant has designed the proposed development to avoid impacts to the remainder of the streams and wetlands
on the site. The road crossings have been designed as narrow as practicable to minimize impacts to the streams and
wetlands. The subdivision has been designed to avoid impacts to large wetlands on the southern portions of the site.
Additionally, a substantial number of lots have been sacrificed under the proposed design to avoid additional wetland
impacts. The remaining roads, lots, utilities and stormwater devices have been designed to avoid additional impacts to
jurisdictional areas.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The clearing limits will be surveyed, staked and silt fencing and clearing limit fencing will be used. Disturbed areas will
be seeded and mulched to limit sediment from entering downgradient waters. Slope matting will be used on steep
slopes.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S., Waters of the State, or Riparian Buffers
2a. If compensatory mitigation is required, by whom is it required? " ❑ DWR ❑ Corps
(check all that apply)

Pogonia, Swamp Pink and White Irisette are federally listed species.
Trees that could afford summer roosting habitat for Northern -long-eared bat are located within the proposed impact
areas. As part of the IPaC report, Pilot provided information and requested a DKey. Based on our submittal, which
included clearing all the trees on the site, the IPaC included the following determination for the Northern Long -Eared
Bat. "Based upon our IPaC submission and a standing analysis, the project is not reasonably certain to cause
incidental take of the northern long-eared bat. Unless the Service advises you within 15 days of the date of this letter
that your IPaC-assisted determination was incorrect, this letter verifies that the Action is not likely to result in
unauthorized take of the northern long-eared bat."
The Tri-colored bat is listed as proposed endangered and not currently afforded protection under the ESA. Potential
habitat for the other aforementioned species is not located within the proposed impact areas.

and a couple of out -buildings. The majority of the 10 acre property has been developed with commercial buildings.
The house remains approximately 750 feet northwest of the site. There are multiple commercial/light industrial
buildings located between the house and the site. Based on our observations, developing the site with a residential
neighborhood will have no impact on the historic property. Additional historic properties are located 4,000 feet and
farther from the site. A copy of the SHPO Map and the listing for The Meadows are included as attachments.

U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
WILMINGTON DISTRICT
Action ID: SAW-2018-01751 County: Henderson U.S.G.S. Quad: Fruitland
NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION
Property Owner: Allston Moore
Address: 701 East Bav Street, Suite 503
Charleston, SC 29403
Telephone Number: 843-414-3904
Size (acres): 75.46 Nearest Town: Fletcher
Nearest Waterway: UTs Cane Creek and Cane Creek Coordinates: 35.43237 N, 82.49294 W
River Basin/ HUC: Upper French Broad (06010105)
Location description: The property is located on a tract of land (PIN 9653-90-8512) at 150 Cane Creek Road in
Fletcher, Henderson Countv, North Carolina
NOTE: On May 1, 2019, via email GeoScience and Technology P.A., submitted a revised Site Man Showing 404
Wetland and Streams with attached summary table Table I • BSC Fletcher (Cane Creek Rd) JD Wetland Stream ID
for this property. In the email it was requested the jurisdictional determination for the property be issued with the
revised map and table. Therefore the issuance of this notification of iuridictional determination voids the
notification of jurisdctional determination prevoiusly issued by the Corps on April 30 2019
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
_ There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described project area, that may be subject to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently
accurate and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,
including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation
requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all
waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an
appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the
waters, including wetlands, have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be
used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an
effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction overall of the waters, including wetlands, at the project area, which is
not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the
waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a
timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC
§ 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a
period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
X There are waters of the U.S. including wetlands on the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ We recommend you have the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to
accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.

X The waters of the U.S. including wetlands on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been
verified by the Corps. If you wish to have the delineation surveyed, the Corps can review and verify the survey upon
completion. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA and/or RHA
jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied
upon for a period not to exceed five years.
_ The waters of the U.S. including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat
signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our
published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this
notification.
The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act
(LAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management to determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US and/or wetlands without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material,
construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the
Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If
you have any questions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact David Brown at 828-
271-7980, ext. 4232 or [e-mail].
C. Basis for Determination:
See attached approved jurisdictional determination form.
D. Remarks:
The waters of the U.S., at this site, were verified on -site by the Corps on March 13, 2019, and are as approximately
depicted on the attached Site Map Showing 404 Wetland and Streams (dated May 1, 2019) with attached summary table,
Table 1: BSC Fletcher (Cane Creek Rd) JD Wetland Stream ID, both submitted by GeoScrience & Technology, P.A.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the
particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation
provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate
participation in USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural
Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

SECTION H: SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
A. RHA SECTION 10 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.
There Are n_o "navigable waters of the U.S." within Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 329) in the
review area [Required]
Waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide.
Waters are presently used, or have been used in the past, or may be susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce.
Explain:
B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.
There Are "waters of the U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 328) in the review area. [Required]
1. Waters of the U.S.
a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply): a
❑ ' TNWs, including territorial seas
❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs
® Relatively permanent waters' (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑ Non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑ Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑ Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
Impoundments of jurisdictional waters
❑ Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands
b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area:
Non -wetland waters: 5,787 linear feet: 3-20 width (ft) and/or acres.
Wetlands: 8.45 acres.
Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: 1987 Delineation Manual
Elevation of established OHWM (if known)
Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):'
EJ Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain:
' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
Z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F.

SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section HI.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody" is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below.
1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW
(i) General Area Conditions:
Watershed size: Pick List
Drainage area: Pick List
Average annual rainfall: inches
Average annual snowfall: inches
(ii) Physical Characteristics:
(a) Relationship with TNW:
❑ Tributary flows directly into TNW.
❑ Tributary flows through Pick List tributaries before entering TNW.
Project waters are Pick List river miles from TNW.
Project waters are Pick List river miles from RPW.
Project waters are Pick List aerial (straight) miles from TNW.
Project waters are Pick List aerial (straight) miles from RPW.
Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain:
Identify flow route to TNWs:
Tributary stream order, if known:
(b) General Tributary Characteristics (check all that apply):
Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the and
West.

C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.

Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the
flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into

adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to

Tributaries of TNWs where tributaries typically flow year-round are jurisdictional. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial: UTs Cane Creek and Cane Creek exhibits indicators of ordinary high water marks (OHWM)
including developed bed and bank, scour, presence of aquatic life, presence of litter and debris, destruction of
terrestrial vegetation, sediment sorting and deposition, and leaf litter washed away. Some of the UTs Cane Creek and
Cane Creek are depicted as a solid blue line on the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle. map Fruitland and the most current
Natural Resource Conservation Service Soil Survey for Henderson County. Solid blue line features on these mapping
conventions typically represent perennial streams. Perennial flow has been observed by Corps representatives during
visits to the Fletcher, North Carolina vicinity.

Project Name: Fletcher Apartments - Cane Creek Road
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The enclosed species list
fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Please note that new species information can change your official species list. Under 50 CFR
402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list
should be verified after 90 days. The Service recommends you visit the ECOS-IPaC website at
regular intervals during project planning and implementation to ensure your species list is
accurate or obtain an updated species list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A biological assessment (BA) or biological evaluation (BE) should be completed for your
project. A BA is required for major construction activities (or other undertakings having similar
physical impacts) considered to be Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c))
(NEPA). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a BE be
prepared to determine effects of the action and whether those effects may affect listed species
and/or designated critical habitat. Effects of the action are all consequences to listed species or
critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences of other

12/01/2023
activities that are caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action
if it is reasonably certain to occur and would not occur "but for" the proposed action..
Recommended contents of a BA/BE are described at 50 CFR 402.12. More information and
resources about project review and preparing a BA/BE can be found at the following web link:
https://www.fws. gov/office/asheville-ecological-services/asheville-field-office-online-review-
process-overview.
If a Federal agency determines listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected
by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR
402. The Service is not required to concur with "no effect" determinations from Federal action
agencies. If consultation is required, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed
species, proposed critical habitat, and at -risk species be addressed within the consultation. More
information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of
permit or licensed applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook"
at the following web link: https://www.fws.gov/media/endangered-species-consultation-
handbook.
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Act, there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)
and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -
related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds,
including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12
and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). More information about MBTA and BGEPA can be found at the
following web link: https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds.
We appreciate your consideration of Federally listed species. The Service encourages Federal
agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species in their project planning
to further the purposes of the Act. Please contact our staff at 828-258-3939, if you have any
questions. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference the
Consultation Code which can be found in the header of this letter.

DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND OR16INAL (IF KNOWN) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
The Meadows stands on a ten acre tract outside the to of Fletcher in northern
Henderson County. The property is now surrounded by modern industrial development,
and construction has begun on a manufacturing plant less than two hundred feet to the
west of the structure. But the immediate landscaping around the house survives --
including enormous boxwoods reaching heights of up to twenty-five feet and reputed
to be among the countiyls largest --and undeveloped, partially wooded land extends to
the north, east, and south of the structure. The imposing stone residence remains
as one of the county's principal nineteenth century landmarks.
The boxy exterior is executed in a simplified version of Italianate style. It is
constructed of coursed granite rubble and rises two stories under'a-low hipped roof
pierced with three interior) chimneys; centered on the roof is a small square -in -
section cupola under a pyramidal roof. The house is built on a square plan with an
original,two-story, shallow extension set across three bays of the four-'bdy rear (west)
elevation, giving the house a modified L plan overall. It is sited to face towards
Cane Creek and Cane Creek Road to the east, though today its only access road approaches
from the west and ends in a circular drive on the south side of the house.
The front (east) elevation is symmetrical, with a double -door entrance centered on the
first level. Each leaf is composed of four panels with one large vertical panel over
a horizontal one and a pair of small vertical panels below. Panels are trimmed with wid
applied moldings. A two -light transom is set above the door. A one -bay porch supported
by narrow chamfered posts with neck moldings shelters the entrance. The porch is
flanked by semi-htxagonal bays, each containing three windows which, like all others
throughout the structure, are of two -over -two sash between projecting stone sills and
lintels. The Second floor level on this elevation is five bays wide, with the central
bay occupied by a narrow window of four -over -four sash opening onto the roof of the pore
A narrow corbeled stone stringcourse carries across the wall near the top; curvilinear
sawn brackets rise from the stringcourse to support the overhanging eaves of the roof.
This treatment continues along every elevation of the structure.
The four -bay north elevation is fronted by a deep, full-length, one-story porch
supported by heavy chamfered posts with neck moldings. The posts are connected by
a low balustrade with a molded handrail and turned balusters. The four openings
on the first floor level on this elevation are floor -length windows with four -over -
four double -hung sash.
The five -bay south elevationis asymmetrical, with a side entrance placed at the second
bay from the left. Each leaf of the double door has five panels, with pairs of vertica
panels above and below a single horizontal one, all with wide applied moldings. The
transom above the door and the porch sheltering this entrance are identical to those
of the front elevation.
The shallow rear extension on the west elevation extends three bays across the right
side of the main block. A rear entrance occupies the left bay of this extension and
consists of a single door with five panels. To the left of the extension, on the west
face of the main block of the house, is a semioctagonal bay identical to those of the
front elevation.

The spacious interior follows a center hall plan, two rooms deep, with two small
rooms Occupying the rear extension on each level. Virtually all of the original
interior finish survives. All wall surfaces are plastered, and rooms are embellished
with bold mid -nineteenth century millwork executed in a variety of woods, including
mahogany, maple, black walnut, cherry, and oak. Mantel forms vary from room to room,
though most other millwork is consistent throughout the house. A rather narrow molded
baseboard occurs everywhere. All doors are of five panels, similar to exterior doors,
with wide applied moldings. Doors and windows are set in wide mitred and molded
architraves, though those of the second floor are more simply executed than those of
the first. An exception to this architrave type is found in the southeast first -floor
parlor, where the surrounds are composed of a single flat boards with chamfered edges
that overlap at the upper corners.
The mantel of this southeast room is the most elaborate in the house. This is composed
of a paneled frame of beaded boards under a molded shelf, embellished with pairs of
chamfered pilasters with beaded edges flanking the fire opening and terminating in
brackets supporting the shelf. Crossbands are superimposed on each of the two
horizontal beaded panels of the frieze. Other mantels follow simpler variations
of this type, or follow a simpler theme altogether, being wide frames of flat panels
under molded shelves; the side panels in this group of mantels vary in form from a
simple rectangle (northwest room), to panels with Gothic (northeast parlor) or semi-
circular (second floor, northeast room) arched heads.
The lighting in three of the first floor rooms -the southeast, northeast, and north-
west --is enhanced by the bay windows; these are set in the walls beneath broad segmental
arches with deep, plastered soffits.
In the center hall a wide open -stringer stair rises in a single long flight along the
left wall of the hall. The ramped and molded handrail is supported by thin turned
balusters and terminates in a tapered, hexagonal newel post capped with an acorn -like
pendant. The stair is supported mid -way in its rise by a reeded octagonal post.
In the southwest corner of the main block is a small rear stair hall with an exterior
entrance through the side door on the south elevation. The simple stair here rises in
two flights broken by a corner landing, and the molded handrail is supported by square -
in -section balusters. The room between this hall and the southwest parlor has been
remodeled into a kitchen.
The ruins of three outbuildings associated with the early history of the Meadows
survive. The remains of a two-story frame dwelling, said to have been servants'
quarters, lie to the south. This is in a state of almost total collapse, but the
massive gable -end brick chimneys and the mortise and tenon construction indicate
this structure may predate the present main house. Between this and the main house
stands a brick chimney with a broad fire opening under a stone lintel; this served
the detached kitchen. To the southeast are the remains of an ice house built in

Located just outside the town of Fletcher in northern Henderson County, the Meadows
is a large stone Italianate style dwelling built sometime after 1860 for South
Carolinian Robert Blake. Like many other wealthy tocountryplanters and merchants
of South Carolina, Blake's father, rice planter Daniel Blake, was attracted to the
mild climate of mountainous western North Carolina as a refuge from the sweltering
summers of the Charleston area. In 1827 he purchased a tract of 950 acres along
the newly completed Buncombe Turnpike from William Murray, who operated Murray's
Inn, a well-known hostelry on this important road. Local legend recounts that the
Catawba grape, America's only native wine -producing grape, was first identified in
its wild state on the Murray's Inn property. About 1829 Daniel Blake constructed
a frame house on the property, landscaped with English boxwoods that survive today
and are reputed to be among the world's largest. This house burned about 1860 and
was replaced by Robert Blake with the present stone structure constructed sometime
shortly thereafter. This dwelling remains today in an essentially unaltered state,
retaining its fine quality interior woodwork, and is one of the principal nineteenth
century landmarks of the county. It served as a private residence until 1979, when
the encroaching development of an industrial park finally resulted in its sale to
a textile manufacturing firm. Though adjacent development is inevitable, the company
intends to preserve the house and its associated landscaping for appropriate adaptive
use as offices or guest house.
Criteria Assessment:
A. The house is representative of low -country South Carolina influences in this
region so important to its nineteenth century development and subsequent
popularity as a resort and tourist area.
C. The large stone dwelling, its exterior executed in a simplified Italianate
style and its interior embellished with high quality mid -nineteenth century
woodwork, is one of few grand residences of the period in this region and a
chief nineteenth century landmark in the area.

The Blake House, also known as The Meadows, is exemplary of the period in which
wealthy Southern planters seeking a cool climate settled in the mountainous area
around Hendersonville for the summer months. There was a marked contrast between
the grand wealth and prosperity they brought to this region and the existing life-
style of the mountain natives, and the effects of their interaction are still evident
today. The Blakes were one of the first of such families to discover this area. Their
house, the second constructed for the family on the site, is a two-story, Italianate
style stone structure complete with a cupola and surrounded by boxwoods reputed to be
some of the world's largest. It is a fine, little -altered example of the grand
architecture brought to this area by those from the low -country. While its exact
date of construction is unclear, it appears that it was built for Robert Blake sometime
after 1860. The architecture of the house has greater significance than the historical
background; consequently, only a minimum effort was made to document the largely
traditional material presented in this report.
About the beginning of the last century summer visitors from South Carolina and Georgia
began to visit Asheville and its vicinity; with the building of the Buncombe Turnpike
between 1824 and 1827 their numbers increased greatly. They would bring their families
and servants and spend months in these mountain resorts. As they began to build summer
residences this practice resulted in villages being owned chiefly by these summer
visitors, most notably the community of Flat Rock south of Hendersonville.)
The effect of this on the native mountain settlers was great. The mountain population
included wealthy owners of large tracts of land, a group who lived in substantial
dwellings and enjoyed a "good living," cabin dwellers who owned only a few acres of
farm land, and the isolated hill people who owned little or no land.2 Since they were
largely self-reliant agricultural people, their economic progress depended on creating
a surplus which could be sold. Thus the tide of low -country settlers brought a new
market right to their door step, eliminating long hard trips to sell their goods.
Further, it was a money market, not a barter market, which had heretofore been largely
theirmethod of trade.3 Unlike the people living in western North Carolina these
low-landers were not interested in mountain farming. Instead they made of their
acreages great estates with winding, tree -lined avenues.4 There was in these Summer
homes an ease of living, a degree of luxury, a charm and diversity of interests never
before seen in western North Carolina.5 This new way of life the low-landers brought
to the hills continued to affect the social and economic ideas of the native mountain
people.
Daniel Blake was one of the first to buy property for building a summer residence.
The tract he purchased was known as Murray's Inn, which was owned and operated by
William Murray and had become a favorite stopping place for travelers along the
Buncombe Turnpike.6 William Murray conveyed the property consisting of 950 acres
to Daniel Blake in December, 1827.7 The property lies in the Hoopers Creek Valley
on the waters of the Cane Creek near the town of Fletcher,

Associated with its location is the legend that this tract of land was the place
where the Catawba grape originated. Shortly after 1800 a boundary con"Assion, with
members from North and South Carolina, was staying at Murray's Inn while working out
the line between the states. One of the South Carolina men noticed a type of grape
(fox grape) producing both red and purple fruit, which their host had found growing
wild along the banks of a stream. He carried cuttings and roots of the wild specimen
home to South Carolina and propogated and cultivated it under the name of Catawba.
The Catawba grape was not long in becoming more widely known as wine from its fruit
gained fame for its spendid qualities. This variety found growing wild on lands at 9
Murray's Inn is said to be the only native wine grape this country has ever produced.
The tradition related by his descendants is that Daniel Blake, a wealthy rice planter
of the low -country who was educated in England, had for a long time visited Rhode
Island every summer, until friends urged that he make a trip into the mountains of
western North Carolina. It has been said that he had relatives in Tennessee and that
he planned extending his journey to that place while in the mountains. En route,
he stopped at Murray's Inn, where lameness of his horse necessitated his spending
several days. He later decided to purchase the property from Murray and allegedly
paid him $10,000 in gold coins.10
Daniel Blake is said to have built a house in 1829 which he called "The Meadows" and
employed an English gardener to lay out and plant the lawn which included the famed
boxwoods imported from England.11 The boxwoods are reputed to be among the largest
of their kind in the United States today.12 This criginal house was built of wood
on the same site the present house is now situated. Eventually the house became
a full-time residence, and slave quarters and stables were built. Other tracts of
land in the vicinity were also acquired by the family.13
In 1857 Mr. and�Mrs. Daniel Blake gave a dinner party which was attended by low -
country members of Episcopal families who had made their home or visited frequently
in the Fletcher area. At this party the Calvary Episcopal Church was organized as
there was no church conveniently located for them to attend.14 The low -country people
in the 14ocpers Creek Valley spent a far greater part of their time in the mountains
than did those of nearby communities such as Flat Rock and thus felt they should form
their own church, for the nearest Episcopal church was a thirty mile distance.15
Daniel Blake gave four acres of land for the church.16 Later thirteen additional
acres of land were deeded to the church by Fannie Blake.17 She was one of Daniel
Blake's children and she eventually built a schoolhouse near the church for teaching
the mountain children.18
The original house burned, probably in the early 1860s. As the second house was
not built immediately, the family lived in the servants' quarters in the interim.
Robert Blake, Daniel's son, then built the current structure on the same site some
time after the burning of the original --the exact date is unclear. This house was

FHR-8-300A

CONTI NUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 8 PAGE three
built primarily with local materials --the stone of tLe exterior was said to be
extracted from a quarry on Burneys Mountain just to the northeast.19
Daniel Blake was twice married and the father of eight children. He died in 1873 * 20
His will stated that all of his estate should be given and devised to R. B. Blake
and B. H. Rutledge and granted them power to sell any part or the whole of the estate
and the proceeds thereof to be used to pay all just debts and the remainder to be
divided in seven shares.21 Apparently R. B. Blake, who was responsible for the building
of the existing house, must have chosen to keep this home tract for himself. In
1920 Benjamin Rutledge deeded his interest to R. B. Blake, making him the sole owner 22
of the tract which is in this deed described as consisting of approximately 100 acres.
According to his niece, Mrs. Emma Blake Rutledge, Robert Blake lived a fairly quiet
life. lie was Daniel Blake's son by his second marriage. He attended the Naval Academy
briefly and then returned home to "The Meadows" (for that name bad continued to be
used for the second house). He never married and pursued no active career. Apparently
he cultivated very little of the land and largely derived his income from selling parts
of the estate. His mother lived with him until she dice in 1913.23
In 1925 R. B. Blake sold this tract (resurveyed and described as 126.54 acres) to
M. E. Gruber, a resident of Florida.24 M. E. Gruber, then, in the same year sold
the property to A. J. Cleary who then in 1926 sold the tract to Eugene C' * Ward.214
The property was then transferred back to M. E. Ciuber in 1927.26 During this period
of ownership a mortgage naming R. B. Blake had been in effect, but in 1920 this was
foreclosed and the trustee then sold the property to P. H. Branch, M. E. Plain, Edwin
L.Ray, and W. E. Shufford jointly.27 In 1938 Charles F. Speed bought the p-cperty
and in 1941 sold it to Edwin Tracy Edgerton, whose family occupied the home for about
thirty years.28 In 1972 the property was once again sold to Johii C. Youngblood ar ' d
William T. Justice.29 During these years of ownership the house was used as a private
residence with no particular significance being attached to those: occupants. The
property is adjacent to an industrial park and was recently (July, 1979) purchased
by the Kellwood CorForation. Adjacent development has begun, though the company
has stated its intentions to preserve the old stone house. The house ane its
associated landscaping survive as important remnants of nineteenth century low -country
influences in this region.
