Flat Top Manor, as it is known to the locals, is also referred to as Moses Cone Manor, Moses Cone Estate, the Moses H. Cone Mansion, or just Flat Top. On the Blue Ridge Parkway it is located at Milepost 294 in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. To most people that travel the Parkway it is simply the Parkway Craft Center, which is the major component of the manor house. It is open to the public from spring through fall and gets over 225,000 visitors annually.〔(First Annual Centennial Strategy for August 2007 )〕
==History==
It was built by Moses H. Cone and his wife Bertha at the turn of the twentieth century.〔(Moses Cone Mansion / Parkway Craft Center )〕 Its construction was started in 1899 and finished in 1901. It has twenty-three rooms and of living space.〔(Moses H. Cone Memorial Park & Flat Top Manor )〕
When Moses began acquiring land in the 1890s in the Blowing Rock area to build the house, he emulated George Vanderbilt’s Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Newspaper reporters of the time referred to these builders as "Farmer Cone" and "Farmer Vanderbilt". In 1898 Moses announced he was going to build a mansion in Blowing Rock that cost $25,000 when $200 would buy a habitable home in the area.
