About the Business
The Jackson Building, located at 22 South Pack Square in Asheville, North Carolina, is a historic skyscraper that was once the tallest building in the state. Built in 1924 by developer L.B. Jackson, this Neo-Gothic style building stands 13 stories tall on a small lot in the heart of downtown Asheville. Designed by architect Ronald Greene, the Jackson Building features a steel-framed structure with mountains of glass and terra cotta detailing.
Originally commissioned as a testament to faith in Asheville's real estate market during the booming twenties, the Jackson Building has become a landmark in the city. Its searchlight beam could be seen for miles, and its top terrace was used by inspectors to monitor smoke from furnaces around town. Today, the building stands as a beautiful example of early 20th century architecture, with a practical and vertical charm that has withstood the test of time. Visit the Jackson Building to experience a piece of Asheville's rich history and architectural heritage.
Reviews
"The Jackson building was finished in 1924. The Neo-Gothic 13 story terracotta building was the tallest in NC at the time of construction. It is adorned with Gargoyles near the top which overlook the Paris of the South. During the depression Asheville went bankrupt but chose to pay it back. So no other buildings were put up. Preserving a perfect Art Deco city. Also at the on set of the depression in 1929 a man leapt to his death from the building. This is my favorite building in downtown and has never really been open to the public. But I’ve been to the top which during the 80s had a condo up there."
"Just one of many beautiful and historic buildings in Asheville, NC."
"Great architecture and key backdrop for a few Asheville ghost stories."
"I actually have always wanted to do a Fashion photoshoot here! The Jackson Building in Asheville was built in 1924. The Neo-Gothic design was the first skyscraper in WNC (I actually just had to submit this as a Historic Landmark to Google so they could put it on the map lol you're welcome)."
