"The photo below is the first brick house erected in Tazewell County.  It was built for John Wynne over a hundred years ago; and in 1852 it became the home of the late Captain William E. Peery. 
Perhaps it is the most noted place in the county, and many historic incidents cluster about the lovely old home. 
William E. Perry, Jr., son of Captain Peery, now owns the property (circa 1920);  and it is likely to remain a possession of the Peery family for many future generations."
