Gray Hall
Enfield, NC, US / NC
Location Description
Gray Hall is an elegant temple form Federal Period plantation home, currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Gray-Brownlow-Willcox House. Construction may have ranged from the late 1700’s to 1820. A formal living room, dining room, a grand hall and two smaller halls on the second and third floors, a large keeping room, breakfast room, four bedrooms, and two full baths are contained in over 4,000 square feet situated on over 50 very private acres. There are five porches, three of which are covered. The home has been faithfully restored to offer the ambiance of an early plantation home supported by modern conveniences. Outbuildings which have been restored include a barn with loft which has been converted to a garage and workshop with ample storage for garden equipment. The smoke house and well house have also been restored. Original features have been meticulously maintained and restored to preserve the original essence of the home, but equal care has been given the grounds. Many plantings, including the oldest and largest white ash tree in North Carolina, are still in place. The acreage includes formal gardens, woodland, meadow and a pond. Although continuously a plantation for over 100 years, Gray Hall was also home to LaVallee, a female academy for planter's children.
