ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — One of Asheville’s brightest luminaries has been memorialized in mural form at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial.
Thomas Wolfe, the famous Asheville author of “Look Homeward, Angel” and “You Can’t Go Home Again,” died in 1938. However, his legacy has lived on at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial, a state historic site responsible for the upkeep of the Old Kentucky Home, the Wolfe family residence still standing in downtown Asheville.
At 2 p.m. today, Saturday, April 26, the Thomas Wolfe Memorial visitor center unveiled their brand new mural of the late writer, visible on the side of the building at 52 N. Market St.
“It was an attempt to bring color to the exterior of our visitor center building and be very eye-catching,” explained site manager Kayla Seay. “The mural is going to have components of classic imagery from some of Wolfe’s novels and from his book covers, and then a very classic photo of him from 1936 when he was getting onto a streetcar in Berlin.”…
