SKY CLUB HISTORY | According to Rob Neufeld, The Sky Club, a restaurant and dance club operated by German-Americans Gus and Emma Adler atop Beaucatcher Mountain, started out as the Old Heidelberg Supper Club in the late 1930s and changed its name in 1942 in response to anti-German sentiment. The Adlers, East Asheville restauranteurs, had purchased the estate of Oliver Cromwell Hamilton. After Gus' death in a fire in 1952, Emma continued the club, hosting celebrities such as Grace Kelly and Robert Mitchum, in town to make movies. "Buncombe County did not allow sales of liquor," historian Sharon Fahrer writes. Sky Club patrons "would bring their own bottles ... They were also charged a dollar for a bucket of ice." The Sky Club "was known for ... strip steaks and shrimp cocktail," as well as for views, Rick McDaniel writes in his book "Asheville Food." In 1957, Castle in the Sky purchased the Sky Club from Emma Adler for $65,000, with more than that to be spent on renovations. The corporate treasurer was Fred Seely Jr., E.W. Grove's grandson. The president, William Conrad of New Jersey, revived the panoramic third floor dinner-and-dance hall as The Satellite Club. The Sky Club was later sold and converted to condos.
