1953 Sunnyside Inn Asheville North Carolina

In 1926, Pattie Hale moved to Asheville from Kentucky with her husband to improve their health. They found a home for rent at 173 Macon Avenue that was constructed from 1914–18. To afford the cost of living there, Hale soon launched a plan to open the gracious property to guests and travelers for sit-down meals and lodging. She called it Sunnyside.

Sunnyside hosted distinguished guests, celebrities, and dignitaries for nearly half a century. The Hales were able to purchase the home in 1942 and continued to run it as an inn until 1974. In its heyday, Sunnyside was a sought-after culinary destination emphasizing Southern hospitality—and history.
