Fort Gregg-Adams' Oldest Building

The Gordon R. Davis House is the oldest building on Fort Gregg-Adams. Joseph Sarna began construction in 1915, and after the land was purchased for a training camp in 1917, the house was completed in 1918. Known as the "White House," it served as headquarters for the 80th "Blue Ridge" Infantry Division. After World War I, it was the residence of the Gordon R. Davis family from 1924 to 1954. During World War II, with the Davis family as unofficial hosts, the house served many functions, including temporary headquarters or housing and a cafeteria. Although it is the oldest facility on the post, renovations since the 1950's have adapted the farmhouse from its original purpose to meet the Army's needs. Today it provides lodging for Fort Gregg-Adams' distinguished visitors.
