Bass-Perry House


The Bass-Perry House is a historic house on a former plantation in Seale, Alabama, U.S.

History

The house was built between 1840 and 1844 for Hartwell Bass, a planter from Virginia who was a trustee of the Good Hope Male and Female Academy. It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. When Bass died in the early 1840s, it was inherited by his widow, Elizabeth, and her son-in-law, Patrick Henry Perry. The house remained in the family until 1939.
The house was owned by Hillary Mott from 1939 to 1968. Mott was the president and later chairman of the Nehi Corporation as well as the director of the Southern Industrial Council based in Nashville, Tennessee. By 1968, he sold the house to Roy Green.
