From the History of Iowa County, 1881, p 869: "William Perry, dealer in groceries and provisions; is a native of Cornwall, Eng., and was born in 1828; he came to the United States in 1847, and came to Wisconsin the same year and engaged in mining; he has continued in that business over thirty years; in October, 1873, he engaged in the mercantile business, and since then has carried on that business." Zeigen & Wearne Millinery is in the shop at the time of this photograph. This building is included in the Wisconsin Architecture and History Inventory under record number 59719.
