This Spanish immigrant brought his talent and drive to bear on more than 1000 buildings in the United States and the chances are you have already been in under one of his patented Structural tiled vaults. The magnificent arched vaults under Grand Central Station – that’s Guastavino too. the vaults in Carnegie Hall, the Capitol in Washington, and the Boston Public Library – all Guastavino. He was involved in the construction of the Biltmore Estate and liked it so much here in Asheville he retired here.
His retirement didn’t last long though, unsatisfied with the meager church here at the time, he convinced the city to build the Basilica of St. Lawrence, a magnificent finale and final resting place of Rafael Guastavino, it was however over 3 months after he died that the frozen ground in Ashville was soft enough to bury poor Rafael, his unhappy ghost still roams the Basilica today, some say grumbling about his delayed interment.
