"The Samuel and Pauline Peery House, 1105 N. Hundley, Albany, Gentry County, is ... an important local example of the free classic subtype of Queen Anne architecture. Samuel Perry was a respected businessman in Albany who, with his brother, ran E.L. Peery & Co. Dry Goods and other local businesses. Peery's business success allowed him to contract with the region's premier architect, Edmund J. Eckel, to design his elegant family home. By 1901, when the house and associated carriage house were constructed, Eckel had a well-established reputation as an architect and was known in Gentry County as the designer of the courthouse (1884-85). Although well versed in many styles, Eckel utilized the popular Queen Anne style for the design of the Peery residence. The house, with its tower, porch with classical columns, and complex roofline is characteristic of the free classic subtype of the style." - National Register Nomination Form
