FOY TOWN—colored settlement north of the end of E 14th [as listed in 1926 Winston City Directory]
Rufus Foy, the owner of over forty-two acres of land in 1886 near Mickey Mill Road and Bowen Boulevard, was a successful farmer. Part of his property was Foy's
Graveyard, used by Negroes until it was sold to the Smith Reynolds Airport. One of his sons, Jordon Foy, was a carpenter who built many East Winston houses between
1900 and 1920. Foytown, the section from Jackson Avenue to Woodland Avenue, was the location of many of the homes which he built and was named for h im. He also
made caskets in his carpenter's shop.
It was in this shop that Jordon Foy and several others in the black community laid the groundwork for Mt.Pleasant Methodist Church, which existed at Highland Avenue and
East Fourteenth Street for seventy-nine years. When the church was replaced by redevelopment, most of its members went to St. Paul's United Methodist Church.
