Saved by the Neighborhood, the Jarrett House of West Asheville, North Carolina

The Thomas Jarrett House is in the Falconhurst neighborhood of West Asheville, North Carolina. It was built in 1894 by Thomas Jarrett, a millwright for a nearby mill. The two-story I-house was built with Queen Anne influences. The home fell into disrepair, but the surrounding community raised funds to preserve it in 2006.
