History

Warren Perry was a prosperous farmer who lived at what was then the southeastern outskirts of Lapeer in the late 19th century. Perry built this farmhouse on Saginaw Street in the early 1890s. After Warren Perry, the home was owned by three additional farmers: - Asa Farnsworth (whose family settled in Lapeer County in the 1840s), Michael and Mary Kearney, and Matthew Wheatley. The home was later owned by Lapeer Metal Products today, who used as a rented single family residence. [2] The home was moved some time after 1985 to its present location on Genesee.
