Upstairs at the Biltmore House

The top floor of the Biltmore House, George Vanderbilt s fabulous mansion in Asheville, served three purposes: an Observatory overlooking the sweeping Appalachian landscape and adjacent outdoor balconies; the Architectural Model Room housing Richard Morris Hunt s 1889 architectural model of Biltmore House and the female servants quarters. Get a behindthescenes tour of these recently opened rooms which provide an interesting contrast to the more opulent public rooms on the lower floors. Produced by U
