Spinning Wheel is a historic commercial building located at Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. It was built in 1939, and is a one-story, "T" -shaped commercial building with three primary components. It consists of the side-gabled, single-pen log dwelling; a small frame hyphen called the "dog-trot"; and a frame "loom room". A cement block extension was added in 1945. The building was restored in 1998. The Spinning Wheel operated from 1939 to 1948 and provided education, employment, socialization, and a craft market for the traditional weaving women from the mountains around Asheville.^[2]
