Perry Hannah House
The Perry Hannah House, also known as the Reynolds Funeral Home, is a private house located at 305 6th Street in Traverse City, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1971〔 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.〔
==History==
Perry Hannah was born in 1824 in Erie County, Pennsylvania, the son of E.L. and Ann Hannah. In 1837 the Hannahs moved to St. Clair County, Michigan, and Perry soon was employed in rafting logs from Port Huron to Detroit. He was later employed in a Port Huron store, but in 1846 moved to Chicago to clerk at a lumberyard. In 1850, he formed a partnership with A. Tracy Lay and James Morgan, called Hannah, Lay, and Co. In 1851, the firm purchased land near Traverse City and began logging.
In 1852, Hannah married Ann Amelia Flynn; the couple had three children.〔 In 1854 the Hannahs permanently moved to Traverse City, where Perry Hannah guided Hannah, Lay, and Co. to immense profits, expanding into banking, milling, real estate, and wholesale and retail sales. In 1886, they divested the lumbering portion of the business. By the 1890s, Hannah, Lay, and Co. was worth tens of millions of dollars.
The Perry Hannah House was designed in 1891 by Grand Rapids architect W. G. Robinson for Hannah.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Hannah, Perry, House )〕 It was completed in 1893.〔 Hannah used the house as his retirement home, living there until his death in 1904. The house then passed to his daughter-in-law, Elsie Hannah. Years later, unable to afford the upkeep of the house, Elsie Hannah planned to demolish it. However, demolition also proved too costly, and she donated the house to the American Legion. The Legion sold it to the owner of Weaver's Funeral Home, who converted it into a funeral parlor, making almost no alterations to the original house. In 1976, the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home began using the home; they still operate it and maintain the house.
