In 1930, when Biltmore House opened to the public, photographer George Masa captured rare interior images of the estate at a pivotal moment in its history. Decades later, an abundance of photos and negatives in Biltmore's archives were discovered to have been taken by Masa, including the striking collection referred to as "The Masa Interiors." Swipe to compare the home from 1930 to modern day, and explore the full gallery at our link in bio.
