History
Gray Gables was built in 1898 by Mr. Henry Clay Brittain. He named the home Gray Gables after his late uncle who fought in the Civil War. The Brittain's were a very prosperous family in the Summerfield area. They also owned the local mercantile store which is currently the Summerfield Town Hall. In 2001, after being neglected for almost three years, Patrick Jenks purchased the Gray Gables home with plans to restore it and move his 23 year old company inside. After a year of renovation, Forestry Systems, Inc. moved in. Soon after the move, Mr. Jenks began receiving requests to hold events in Gray Gables' backyard.Today The Gardens at Gray Gables is a thriving company that hosts over 60 events per year. These include weddings, corporate gatherings, graduations, school dances and Santa in The Gardens, the largest event of the year. It is the ideal setting for any occasion.
