The Hop, Asheville

According to Asheville: A Postcard History by Sue Greenberg and Jan Kahn, this building was originally a Service Station built in 1950.

In 1978 the building became The Hop Ice Cream parlour and by 2005 it had turned to this two-tone purple colour-scheme.

I see that The Hop has since moved to a new location so I wonder what has become of this great little building.
