History
5
In 1894, William Ray Perry built this Queen Anne house with Eastlake ornamentation on the farm his father had purchased in 1829. Perry’s forebearers had arrived in New England in 1650. In 1825, Edmund Perry, William’s great-uncle, moved his immediate family from Rhode Island to the Grand Blanc area, and other family members followed. The Perrys were the township’s second pioneer family, and this vicinity became popularly known as the “Perry Settlement.”
