Constructed in 1925 as a retail showroom and office for Tryon Toy Makers and Wood Carvers, the Tryon Toy House served a craft enterprise founded by Charlotte Yale and Eleanor Vance in 1915 and known for its toys and woodcraft. It was designed by Tryon architect J. Foster Searles to evoke the European inspiration behind the distinctive style of Tryon toys and woodcraft. Eleanor Roosevelt delivered her Fourth of July speech there in 1934 from the front terrace.
