National Register of Historic Places - William Nelson Camp, Jr. House

Statement of Significance: The William Nelson Camp, Jr. House was built ca. 1926. W. N. "Buster" Camp, Jr. built his home in the Fairview area of Buncombe County with the help of local builders. Camp appears to have been drawn to the area for its scenic beauty, remote location as a summer retreat, and for the land which adapted so well to the development of a complex of buildings along with a small hydroelectric plant. The incorporation of the hydroelectric plant was in keeping with his and his family's history of business successes which included paper production (Union Camp Corporation), phosphate mining, and hydroelectric development ventures. Camp owned the property until 1946, when it was sold by his wife, Roxie Lee Camp. The property then passed through four additional owners until it was bought by the current owners. The William Nelson Camp, Jr. House is significant under Criterion C, in the area of architecture. The complex of buildings associated with this property form a highly intact example of Rustic style architecture of the early part of the twentieth century in Buncombe County.
