The Benajah Gray Log House is a historic loghouse in Antioch, Tennessee, United States.
The land was granted to Lardner Clark in 1784.[1] In the early 1800s Benajay Gray, the son of American Revolutionary War veteran James Gray, purchased some acres of land.[1] He proceeded to build the log house by 1805.[1] By the 1870s, it had become a horsebreeding farm.[1] It was subsequently inherited by his descendants,[1] and in the 1980s it belonged to Gray's great-great-granddaughter, Ernestine Huffman.[1]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 11, 1985.[2]
