English: Built in 1855, this Italianate-style house was constructed for Martha A. Perry, and her husband, Benjamin F. Perry. The house is built of sandstone blocks with a hipped, gabled, and mansard roof with bracketed eaves, one-over-one and two-over-two windows, a two-story bay window on the front facade, decorative window headers, an arched attic window, a corner front porch with a curved end, an enclosed vestibule section with a Queen Anne-style stained glass double-hung window, decorative turned columns with brackets, an open pier foundation, and a wooden balustrade, and a gabled rear ell clad in wooden clapboard. The house is one of the oldest remaining houses on the Downtown Madison Isthmus, and an excellent example of the widespread early use of sandstone construction and Italianate elements on houses in the city.
