Helen’s Bridge was famously included in a passage in Thomas Wolfe's book, Look Homeward, Angel. But the true lure of the bridge is all the stories that are told about it among Ashevillians. Built in 1909 from quarried stone, the arched bridge provided access to Zealandia Mansion. As the stories go, a woman named Helen lived near the mansion with her beloved daughter.
