The Benajah Gray Log House is a historic loghouse in Antioch, Tennessee, U.S..
History[]
The land was granted to Lardner Clark in 1784.[2] In the early 1800s, Benajay Gray, the son of American Revolutionary War veteran James Gray, purchased some acres of land.[2] He proceeded to build the log house by 1805.[2] By the 1870s, it became a horsebreeding farm.[2] It was subsequently inherited by his descendants.[2] By the 1980s, it belonged to Gray's great-great-granddaughter, Ernestine Huffman.[2]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 11, 1985.[3]
