NPS Form 10-900-a OMS Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places RECEDED Continuation Sheet Waka_fifl JUL25BM Section number Page INTERAGENCY RESOURCES DIVISION NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: NATIONAL PARK SERVICE The Perry Farm is located on the south side of the old Tarboro stage road, now known as Riley Hill Road (SR 2320), just east of its intersection with Edgemont Road (SR 2300). The farm is in rural southeast Wake County 'near the small piedmont North Carolina town of Wendell. The present ten-acre farm was originally a part of 496 acres purchased in 1835 by John Perry. That acreage was a part of the approximately 1,500 acres Perry acquired in the area between 1802 and 1840. In 1914 Guyon Perry, son of Feggins Perry a former slave on the Perry farm, purchased the house and fifty-three acres of the farm's original acreage. After his death in 1956, the acreage was divided among his surviving children. This ten- acre tract, inherited by his youngest daughter, contains eight contributing (C) resources and two non-contributing (NC) resources. The c. 1820 Perry House, centerpiece of t.he farm, is shaded by several large evergreen and deciduous trees;, including oaks and maples and a large old, partially hollow l^olly tree. The house is surrounded by a variety of evergreen land deciduous shrubs and a variety of bulbs, perennial and Annual flowers. There are also remnants of an extensive fruit orchard which once included pear, apple, peach and plum tree^s. Small grape arbors survive in the northwest corner of the I front yard near the road and in the southeast corner of the rear yard.
