Loray Mill Historic District, located between Franklin Boulevard and W 2nd Avenue, is a historic and industrial Gastonia neighborhood with a landmark textile mill and brick mill-era streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Loray Mill complex on W Franklin Blvd, where loft living, a brewery taproom feel, and event-day foot traffic set the tone. Loray Mill Lofts, Webb Custom Kitchen, and Cavendish Brewing Company act as local pillars for dining, gathering, and craft pours. Red-brick warehouses and converted mill buildings define the architecture, with rail lines and broad arterials shaping the edges. Side streets read quieter and residential, while the mill campus keeps the district’s identity front and center.
