Old Beaufort Postcard - Date Unknown

Benjamin Leecraft Perry Residence - 207 Front Street
The postcard was published by Clawson's Emporium - 429 Front Street
and was found in the Duncan House at 105 Front Street.

BENJAMIN LEECRAFT PERRY (1811–1869), son of David Perry and Nancy Leecraft, married Elizabeth Manney in 1835 and Etta Duncan in 1868. He was involved in coastal trading and was one of the wealthiest men in Beaufort before the Civil War. Many visitors boarded in “Cap’n” Perry’s wharf-front home, replaced in the 1920s by the Jule Duncan House.

The Perry House, originally the home of Thomas and Esther Wallace Cooke, was the 1812 birthplace of James Wallace Cooke, commander of the Confederate ram Albemarle.
