Expert Tip. The La Farge Perry House is named after its former residents: famous American painter, muralist and stained-glass artist John La Farge and his wife, Margaret Perry La Farge. Mrs. La Farge was granddaughter to Oliver Hazard Perry and niece to Matthew Perry, both famous U.S. Navy commodores during the 1800s. Guestrooms bear their names and reflect their personalities and interests.
