Gabrella Manor was originally named the Bundy House after it was commissioned by its first owner, Theodore C. Bundy, in 1938. Bundy was well respected among the community and was well known for entertaining dignitaries and guests. Mrs. Bundy and their daughter, Barbara, lived in the house for years after Mr. Bundy passed away until it was sold to Brenda Jones and Steve Johnson in 1997.
Brenda was working for Bell South as a geographic information system consultant and had been dating Steve for several years. Steve was a videographer and photographer and typically spent his weekends at various wedding venues. Brenda started going with Steve on his jobs so that they could spend time together even while having such busy schedules.
Brenda decided that she wanted to begin writing a business plan and decided to use a wedding venue as her “template” to learn the process. She was working with a small business group at The University of Alabama at Birmingham, and they were all in unanimous agreement that her business plan was wonderful. They all said that this business plan would be much more viable than a consulting firm, so Brenda got to work.
The business plan was finalized in January of 1997, which happened to be perfect timing since her brother had just retired from the phone company and earned his real estate license. Brenda’s mother, Ruth, had suggested that they look at the Bundy House, which was right up the road from where they lived for many years.
