Architectural drawings, office files, record books, and other material documenting the career of an early Charlotte architect. Includes drawings and specifications for residences, institutions, churches, and business offices in Charlotte and elsewhere in North Carolina. Nearly one-half of the papers are architectural drawings. Most of the sets of drawings are complete, including floor plans, sectionals, elevations, and foundations. Some renderings are included. Office files consist of specifications, correspondence, and other material relating to Asbury's projects. Most of the rest of the group consists of Asbury's architectural reference material, record books, a few personal writings and letters, pictures, and printed items concerning Asbury and his designs.
