The house and outbuildings are on the site where Peiter Heyl was granted a land grant in 1754. The main house was built during the late 1700's. It features rare corner post construction and is the only known remaining structure in North Carolina with this type of construction. This was also the site of Hoylsville, the first Federal Post Office in present day Gaston County.
The site was purchased by Hoyle Historic Homestead Inc., in 1991 to preserve and restore this very important part of regional history. In 1993, it was placed on the National Historical Register.
