The Hoyle House

White Oaks, Lincoln County. Nominated by Larue Wetzel, White Oaks Historical Society

SIGNIFICANCE The Hoyle House was built in 1892 in the wild gold mining town of White Oaks. It had hand-carved pine and redwood door and window frames, stained glass windows, and piped water. The front stairs are of hand-carved stone, as are the corners of the structure. The house is a prominent part of the White Oaks Historic District, which is on the National Register. The house is privately owned.

THREAT The roof is beginning to fail and has caused minor damage to the interior. Without prompt repairs, the continued damage will become extremely expensive to repair, and unrepaired will ultimately cause structural failure.
