The Perry House was actually built by Felix and Helen Richards, circa 1907, as their dream house (Image 2). When Helen Richards died in 1915, the property was sold to Frank and Annie Belle Perry. The Perrys opened their home as a boarding house for Lees-McRae students. Mr. Perry added the small building near the street (now Dunn's Deli) where he operated a gas station and a taxi cab company. Mike and Robin Dunn have operated the bed and breakfast and Dunn’s Deli since 2001, but Dunn's Deli has since been closed. Continue in the same direction and you will be alerted for the next tour stop as you pass in front of BJ's Resortwear. The former RO Banner Store is across the street, but again, best viewed from this side.
