Description	Abstract: Griffin describes how he came to Asheville and fell in love with it, and how his work in an architectural firm led him to become involved with efforts to stop the cut through Beaucatcher Mountain. He discusses his involvement with the Preservation Society, and his efforts to make Biltmore Village and Montford historic districts. He outlines several projects that he has focused on in his career, and gives information about specific buildings that are historically valuable to this area. He describes the problems inherent in planning and zoning, which lead to the destruction of historic property, and lists changes that he has seen in the area over time.
