About Montford
Montford is Asheville's most-photographed historic district, a National Register neighborhood listed in 1985 and famously featured in numerous films. The 1890s–1920s neighborhood features Queen Anne, Shingle, Colonial revival, and Tudor revival homes on tree-canopied streets just north of downtown. Many of the original homes — now operating as bed and breakfasts — feature the elaborate slate, tin, and clay-tile roofs typical of Western North Carolina's late-Victorian architecture.
