EDITORS COMMENTS
Pack Square, located in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina, USA, is a historic public space that has served as a community gathering place since the late 1800s. This photograph, taken in the 1900s, captures the essence of Pack Square during an era of great transformation. The square is named after the Pack family, who donated the land for the construction of the city's first courthouse in 1797. In the center of the square stands the Vance Memorial Obelisk, a monument dedicated to Zebulon Vance, a prominent North Carolina politician and Civil War veteran. The obelisk, topped with a bronze statue of Vance, has been a prominent feature of Pack Square since its dedication in 1887. Surrounding the obelisk are a collection of shops and buildings, some of which have been standing for over a century. The road leading to the square is lined with trees, providing shade and a sense of tranquility. The grassy area in the foreground invites visitors to relax and enjoy the surroundings. A fountain, not visible in this photograph, is also a popular feature of Pack Square. The fountain, which was added in the 1920s, is a favorite among locals and tourists alike, providing a refreshing respite from the summer heat. Pack Square has undergone numerous transformations throughout its history, but it remains a cherished part of Asheville's identity. Today, it is home to a thriving farmers market, live music performances, and various community events. The square continues to serve as a gathering place for residents and visitors alike, making it a true testament to the vibrant and diverse culture of Asheville, North Carolina.
