Eliada Home is a national historic district located near Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. The district originally encompassed ten contributing buildings and three contributing sites associated with a youth home complex in suburban Asheville. Of the original ten, only five remain. They include the early residential, administrative, and agricultural buildings of the home as well as a residence, a tabernacle site, a log guest cabin, and a cemetery. The primary buildings were the Main Building (built in 1915, but is no longer extant) and the Allred Cottage (1930). The buildings included representative examples of the Colonial Revival, Bungalow, Bungalow/craftsman, and Tudor Revival styles. [2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. [1]
In February 2021, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services ordered Eliada Home to shut down two of its cottages for high-risk teenagers, stating that those cottages presented "an imminent danger to the health, safety and welfare of the clients". [3] The department cited issues going back to 2018, including teens running away, high staff turnover, an instance of sexual relations between a staff member and a client, and an instance of rape not being reported to the police.
