Greeks Still Master Architects. This view from the gates of the modern Olympic stadium at Athens demonstrates that the Greeks still retain some of the genius that their buildings world famous centuries ago. The marble columns and roofs of this building are reflections of the structures on the Acropolis in the dim background where the Ancient Greeks constructed the "wonder city." After the armistice this stadium came under American control being used by the Red Cross as a station for distributing relief to the thousands of Greek refugees driven form their homes by the enemy

Summary
Significance: The Charles Perry house was erected circa 1822-30 upon the ridge over-looking Mill River Harbor. The residence is a proper culmination of Federal style architecture in Southport. The structure's delicate, Adamesque details set against its large classical proportions create a stunning composition which is an asset to the period's American vernacular. The leaded tracery of the lights framing the main entry, the fluted Ionic columns of the front portico, and the classical architrave and cornice articulating the eaves of the main section are patterned after the high-style architecture of the period. Charles Perry was a wealthy nineteenth-century shipowner and sea captain, and a prominent figure within the community.
