7 Stop 7 of 10 on The Complete Guide to Traverse City

The Perry Hannah House

Downtown Traverse City, Northern Michigan

A Preview

"You're looking at the grandest house in Traverse City — round corner turrets, a wide veranda, the whole Queen Anne fairytale. This is the mansion Perry Hannah built for himself in the early eighteen nineties, at the very top of his fortune, and it is exactly as much house as you'd expect from a man who cut down a billion trees and named a town after himself by accident. Forty rooms. Four floors."
