Abstract:
A former tobacco executive's estate in Winston-Salem was renovated and converted into the Graylyn Conference Center. Once the second largest residence in the state belonging to Bowman Gray Sr., of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., the home was donated to the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, and is now part of Wake Forest University. School officials decided to preserve the home and mix academics with a hotel setting to create a modern conference center for visiting scholars.

Abstract:
"The butlers at Winston-Salem's Graylyn Estate carry on a tradition established nearly a century ago by a globe-trotting hostess who wanted every guest to feel appreciated." Featuring 85 guest rooms, the Graylyn Estate Manor House was completed in 1932 in the Norman Revival style and is situated on 55 acres owned by Wake Forest University. Graylyn was the former home of Bowman and Natalie Gray, benefactors of cultural life, education and health care in the Winston-Salem community.
