The Perry House, also known as the William Hayes Perry House or Mount Pleasant House, was built in 1876. After years of decline and vandalism, the house was threatened with demolition. In 1975, it was moved to Heritage Square at 3800 Homer Street, Montecito Heights. On Saturday, September 12, as the Perry Mansion observed its 150th anniversary, it opened its normally closed second floor to visitors for the first time in decades! The anniversary celebration at Heritage Square Museum marked a rare chance to step inside rooms frozen in time, the kind of access that restoration-focused museums typically guard for research and preservation work.
