National Register of Historic Places - Joseph P. Eller House
Statement of Significance: The ca. 1880 Joseph P. Eller House is one of few late nineteenth-century I-houses remaining in the Weaverville vicinity, north-central Buncombe County. It displays features typical of the once-pervasive form, including a three-bay main façade, exterior gable-end chimneys, deep eaves, and a prominent front porch. The Eller House is distinguished by notable architectural elements that include pedimented gables, a two-tiered entrance porch embellished with cutwork balustrades and wave bargeboards, and hand- planed mantelpieces representing an era of fine vernacular carpentry and craftsmanship. The house is associated with the Eller family, very late eighteenth- to early nineteenth-century settlers in Buncombe County. The Eller House is eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C for architecture.
