We are located in Asheville, NC, in the historic Biltmore Village. Come see our 4-track overhead "O" gauge railroad layout. We offer daily specials, catering, and take-outs. The bar is separate
from the dining room.
The Biltmore Depot, like the Biltmore Mansion and the Cathedral of All Souls, was designed by Richard Morris Hunt. The Depot was completed in 1894, and at Christmas of 1895 it welcomed the friends and relatives of George Vanderbilt for the grand opening of the Biltmore Estate. The Depot continued as a passenger station until 1972, when Southern Railroad stopped passenger service. In the nearly 80 years it served the Ashville Community, Biltmore Depot welcomed many distinguished passengers, including Thomas Wolfe and General Pershing. The Depot building was declared a National Historic landmark in 1976. While the Depot has been renovated and modernized repeatedly over the years, the exterior still looks the same as it did when the Vanderbilts debarked the train here in 1895 to celebrate the holidays.
