Graystone Inn Alleghany County, Roaring Gap NC, Vintage Post Card Collection

This is a photo of my vintage post card collection of the Graystone Inn in Roaring Gap NC. It is now a private club. It opened in 1926. It used to be a popular place to stay and go to parties. I have played music both inside and out. The old decor is beautiful from a different era. It reminds me of the Book The Great Gatsby. Roaring Gap was first recognized by Hugh Gwyn Chatham in the early 1890's. The son of James Alexander Chatham, Hugh Chatham discovered the beauty of Roaring Gap as he rode horseback through the mountains to buy wool for his father's mill. He persuaded friends to join him in forming the Roaring Gap Summer Resort Company (RGSRC).
