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 had become a horsebreeding farm. ^[2] It was subsequently inherited by his descendants, ^[2] and in 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]
