Pride and history: Perry Hall

You don’t have to go to Williamsburg to get that colonial feeling, just take a leisurely drive to Perry Hall — a Baltimore suburb bordered by the Great Gunpowder Falls on the north, Pulaski Highway on the east, White Marsh Run on the south and the BGE power lines at Putty Hill on the west.

“The roots of Perry Hall go back to 1775 when a Baltimore merchant, Harry Gough, purchased a 1,000-acre estate near the Great Gunpowder River. He named this property ‘Perry Hall’ after a family estate in England and completed construction on a mansion now called Perry Hall Mansion,” said Realtor Tom Lupo of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage on Honeygo Boulevard.
