Albert Chase McArthur studied with Frank Lloyd Wright between 1907 and 1909, and indeed Wright’s influence on the Biltmore’s design is palpable. McArthur, in fact, used the textile-block system that Wright had developed in southern California. The precast concrete blocks were molded on site and used throughout the resort.
