The Thomas Wolfe Memorial is a historic site located in Asheville, North Carolina. The memorial is dedicated to the life and work of American author Thomas Wolfe, who was born in Asheville in 1900. The site consists of Wolfe's childhood home, a boarding house that he used as the setting for his novel "Look Homeward, Angel", and a visitor center.

The home, which was built in 1883, has been restored to its 1916 condition to reflect Wolfe's childhood years. Visitors can take a guided tour of the house, which includes original furniture and personal belongings of the Wolfe family. The boarding house, which is located across the street, has also been preserved and is open to visitors.

The visitor center features exhibits about Wolfe's life and work, as well as a bookstore and gift shop. The center also hosts events and programs throughout the year, including lectures, book signings, and literary readings.

Temporary Passenger Walkway, Asheville Regional Airport, Asheville, NC Originally built in 1961, this terminal was heavily renovated in 1987-1992, 2003, and 2009, resulting in the present structure. The sprawling, predominately one-story building includes a four-story control tower, a concrete panel, ceramic tile, and stacked stone-clad exterior, canopies with stacked stone columns, and large windows facing the airfield. The terminal served the airport for 50 years, but by the 2020s, had become overcrowded due to a large increase in passenger volume during the early 21st Century. The building, as of 2023, is in the process of being replaced with a new terminal, with the 2003 concourse addition on the northwest side of the building having been entirely demolished, the jet bridges, added during the 2009 renovation, being removed, and portions of the terminal being closed off due to construction. A parking garage, added in 2017, is slated to remain, while a new, larger terminal, a more practical two-story concourse, and a new, freestanding air traffic control tower are constructed in phases alongside the airfield and on the present site of the terminal.
