Scope Of Work
Built in 1918 by J.E. Coyle, the Coyle Farmstead grew into a successful dairy. In 1927 J.E. Coyle brought electricity to downtown Rowlett by converting his steam-powered cotton gin to electric power. In 1952, J.E. Coyle helped the City of Rowlett to become incorporated and served on Rowlett’s first City Council. He donated land for the city’s first water well and fire station. The City of Rowlett plans to maintain the Coyle Farmstead as a hub for public and private events such as private wedding parties, a local art center, cafe, mixed-use office space, historical center and a community garden.
