The Conabeer Chrysler Building is a former 1920s automotive dealership in Asheville, North Carolina. The three-story steel-frame building, faced in orange brick and trimmed with limestone, was built for the Conabeer Motor Company, the local Chrysler affiliate. The owner of the building, Tench C Coxe, had a near monopoly on the newly-created lots on Coxe Avenue. - AsNotedIn
