Green Gables was a road-house built in 1928 that became the social center of the Black Belt. It was known for its lively but restrained atmosphere, with a dance floor, juke box, and excellent T-bone steaks. Mr. Walter Kemp served as manager for many years. The facade of the white board-and-batten building featured a very large gable at its center, and its roof tile and shutters were green. Two cabins built on the premises were later attached as rear rooms to the main building behind the dance floor. The building burned in 1983.
