Last week, we were honored to receive Preserve Arkansas’ Excellence in Preservation through Restoration award. The reception, held in Little Rock, recognized outstanding historic preservation projects throughout the state. We were joined by our distinguished guests of honor, Ken & Liz Allen and Sue Williams, for the celebration. Notably, we received the award on Fay Jones’ birthday. 🎉 🏆

Today we are celebrating Tyler & Ashley’s 5 year anniversary so we thought we’d share some photos from their big day! They were married at Anthony Chapel, a Fay Jones inspired chapel designed by David McKee & Maurice Jennings. It was so special for them to get married in a chapel designed by Tyler’s father! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Thank you Dwell magazine for your recent feature on our restoration! Thank you for telling our story! ❤️

The Arkansas modernist’s 1956 Brothers House pays homage to his famed mentor Frank Lloyd Wright. Who better to recover it from disrepair than Jones’s own apprentice?

Our prime location near the University of Arkansas is a superb convenience for our guests. The property was originally commissioned for Dr. Richard and Alma Brothers who both taught at the University in the 1950s. Alma was an opera singer and Richard led the Schola Cantorum choir to several regional, national, and international accolades. The property's rich history with the University of Arkansas has us saying WOO PIG SOOIE... all the way home!

A recent photo from one of our guests! 🦌
You are bound to see wildlife when you Stay at Gray! The property backs to private woods and can be admired through Fay’s use of floor to ceiling glass windows- allowing the outdoors in. Another element that makes this property so special and peaceful.
