With granite block dedicated to Robert E. This marker appears new with the restoration and may have been placed for future use. Within the fence is another sloped granite block with a bronze inscription memorializing the capture of a piece of military equipment in World War I. The monument is surrounded by a black iron fence. At the June 2015 rededication another bronze plaque was placed on a small sloped granite block in front of the west face. The monument had fallen into disrepair and was restored in 2015. In 1938 the Asheville Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy added a bronze plaque above the west face inscription. Aside from a small Masonic notation the only inscription when constructed was “Vance” inscribed on each side of the plinth. It was fashioned after the Washington monument and stands 75 feet tall. The square base and plinth are also granite. The monument was built of rusticated granite blocks in the form of an obelisk. Richard Sharp Smith, Asheville, NC, Architect
