Perry House|publisher=National Park Service|access-date=2016-02-27|author=William C. Page}}</ref> This house is a High Victorian eclectic style structure. It is one of four large brick houses in Albia known as the Four Sisters. They all feature a running brick bond on their exterior walls. It is an unusual architectural feature for southern Iowa in the period they were built, and it also suggests they have the same architect and/or brick mason.<ref name=Jacobsen>{{cite web|url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/pdfhost/docs/nrhp/text/85001379.PDF|title=Elbert-Bates House|publisher=National Park Service|access-date=2016-02-27|author=William C. Page, James E. Jacobsen}}</ref> The Elbert-Bates House is another house in this group. The Perry house was designed by Charles A. Dunham from the prominent Burlington, Iowa architectural firm of Dunham & Jordan. It is noteworthy for its elaborate roofing system.<ref name=Page/> It features five dormer windows, two hip-and-deck roofs, three gable roofs, and two hipped roofs. The steeply pitched roof also has finials, pendants, and brackets with a modified frieze under the eaves. Other elements of the richly ornamented exterior include barge boards on the second story and entry gables, and a front porch with Gothic tracery millwork. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.<ref name=nris/>
