Vanderbilt Estate North Carolina Mt Pisgah Buck Spring Lodge Biltmore Dairy House 1907 Real Photo Postcard

Vanderbilt's Lodge on Mount Pisgah served as a rustic retreat within the expansive landholdings of George Vanderbilt II, the magnate behind the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century, likely around the same period as the Biltmore House, this log structure offered a picturesque escape into the Appalachian Mountains, embodying the Gilded Age's embrace of wilderness and private estates for leisure and sport.
