The Perry Building is one of a few Art-Moderne buildings left in Louisburg.  For that reason, it adds a flavor to the historic fabric of our downtown and the surrounding historic district.  The Town Council decided to purchase this building in December 2017.  The funds for this project will come from the sale and lease proceeds from The Hardware Co. Building.

The major goals of this project are to stabilize the building, restore the windows, update the sidewalks, improve its aesthetic value, get the building on the National Register of Historic Places, provide a location for the Franklin County Arts Council and eventually sell the building to a private investor or developer.  The proceeds from this project will be used to fund a similar project at a later date.
