New Perry Hotel
New Perry Hotel is a historic hotel in Perry, Georgia, located at 800 Main Street. It consists of a three-story Neoclassical hotel built in 1925 and a one-story, eight-room Colonial Revival motel, which was built in 1955 and enlarged in 1959 with a pool and cabana. In 1947 a kitchen and banquet hall were built. Between 1955 and 1959 the rear lobby was converted into the motel office and a card room was built. The original full-height portico was altered in 1965. The round Tuscan columns were replaced by square Tuscan columns.
It was designed by architects Dennis and Dennis; Davenport Guerry was the landscape architect.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 1, 2004. The hotel closed about 2014.
As of July 22, 2024, the Hotel is being demolished in order to build a new commercial building, just a year shy of the Hotel's 100th anniversary.
