Victorian House
in White Oaks
Watt Hoyle owner of a rich gold mine in White
Oaks in the late 1800s decided to construct a
'superior' residence. The result of his efforts
and spending was a two-story brick home,
complete with a viewing balcony on top. The story goes
that he was building it for his
prospective bride but she decided not to come
west. Hoyle never finished the inside but did
live in the home with his older brother and his
wife. The home became known as 'Hoyle's folly".
