Hi Marlene, Thank you for including the address of the Perry House, it enabled me to locate where the house is and thus who owns it. Perry House is now owned by the Monterey History & Art Association and houses the association's costume collection. Here is the telephone book info: Monterey History & Art Association, Ltd. Office: 5 Custom Plaza Monterey, CA 93940 Monday - Friday, 9 am - 5 pm telephone: 1-831-372-2608 or 1-831-375-1643 [NOTE: there are two listings for the association, same address, different phone numbers, I've listed both numbers] Perry House Costume Workshop 201 Van Buren Street Monterey, CA 93940 telephone: 1-831-375-9182 I don't know if the association has a web site, but I would recommend calling them to find out what they know about Perry House. Several years ago, there was an extensive article in the "Monterey County Herald" regarding the history of the house in conjunction with the association's utilizing the house for their costume collection. Hope this helps, Anita C.
