Homesteads Events Nestled in the Historic Loray Mill, we are a Specialty Event Company, which provides not only the Sp

History behind Loray Mill:

Built in 1902 by John Love and George Gray, they contracted their names to Loray, and the mill, said to be the largest single roof textile mill in the South, went on to become a part of history. The Communist Textile Workers Union led a strike in 1929 that laid siege to the town and resulted in the death of Gastonia Police Chief Orville Aderholt and worker's rights cham

pion Ella May Wiggins. As public sentiment turned against the union and the Great Depression forced the company operating the mill into bankruptcy, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company stepped in and for the next 60 years produced woven tire cord for an exploding automobile industry. The doors closed again in 1993 when Firestone built their plant elsewhere. Fast-forward 20 years to April 2013 when the redevelopment of Loray Mill into a mixed-used property was green lighted & construction began to make a dream come true & bring history back to life.
