Frye-Randolph House and Fryemont Inn

The Frye-Randolph House and Fryemont Inn are a pair of historic properties on Fryemont Road in Bryson City, North Carolina. The two buildings occupy a prominent site overlooking the Tuckasegee River and Bryson City, and are well-known local landmarks. The house is an L-shaped wood-frame structure, whose oldest portion was built c. 1895 by Amos Frye, a prominent local lawyer and landowner. The inn is a rustic mountain lodge, two stories high, part of which is clad in bark shingles. It was built by the Fryes in 1923, and is a well-preserved example of a period vacation hotel.[2]
