the history

The J.B. Perry House

Circa 1898, The Victorian was originally built by merchant, J.B. Perry. Perry established The Youngsville Tobacco Market, alongside 5 other colleagues in 1896.

In 1899, Perry founded and was President of the Bank of Youngsville. Perry was also on the Railroad Board of Commissioners and later passed away in 1940.

Architecturally Original

There are many elements throughout The Victorian that are original to the home, such as all of the woodworking, window panes, and the light fixtures in the downstairs of the home.

History Uncovered

During renovations, an English garden was uncovered in the back of the property, in the area where wedding receptions take place today. Some of the original stonework still exists in the yard and many wedding guests enjoy using the garden as a beautiful backdrop for photos with friends and family.
