Why Robert Griffin chose Biltmore Village

This property was in danger of demolition. Robert and his partner moved it to it's current location in 1984 and have lovingly restored, furnished and created a garden setting for it. Their antique shop Fireside Antiques was located downstairs. Griffin's Lair was the first location of The Biltmore Village Historic Museum.
