The Albert Hand house located on North Main St:
The high quality exterior brick is said to be imported from Europe.
The neo-classical house was built in 1907 by Albert Hand who was a farmer from Charlotte that inherited the land. He reportedly closely supervised it's construction.
At one time the house served as the Lutheran parsonage and it is currently listed on the Gaston County Local Landmarks register.
Even though this home is listed on the local register and located in a National Historic District, it along with ALL the other homes and buildings in the historic district are scheduled be rezoned to high density in near future IF the proposed Land Plan is passed on Monday May 5th by City Council. These historic designations in no prevent these historic structures from being torn down in the future do build high density dwellings.
