A two-story Federal-style brick house built around 1824 near Gastonia in Gaston County, North Carolina, the William J. Wilson House exemplifies early nineteenth-century domestic architecture with its five-bay façade and Flemish-bond brickwork. The structure features a side-gable roof and exterior brick end chimneys characteristic of the Federal period. A later addition, a one-story Late Victorian porch with porte cochere, reflects the building's evolution through the nineteenth century. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
