The Jacob P. Perry House is a historic home on Sickletown Road in Pearl River, New York, United States.

It was constructed around the end of the 18th century, one of the last houses in Rockland County to have been built in the Dutch Colonial style more common before the Revolution.

[1] The house and outbuildings occupy a 5-acre (2.0 ha) lot at the south corner of the three-way intersection of Sickletown Road and Gilbert Avenue (Rockland County Route 26), an area of Pearl River known as Nauraushaun.

The terrain is level, with a steep drop to the reflecting the proximity of Lake Tappan and the Hackensack River basin.

[2] The main house itself is near the north corner of the lot, with an unpaved driveway from Sickletown running up to its west (front, originally the rear) elevation.

[2] On the east elevation, the house's original front facade, is a centrally located main entrance flanked by two windows on either side, echoed in the dormer fenestration above.

Most of this is shielded by closely planted shrubbery and an awning over the entrance, a double Dutch door with original strap hinges.

[2] The dining room fireplace is in a large projecting chimney breast with a simple wood mantel and similar hearthstones in front.

[2] Upstairs, the second floor has five rooms and two bathrooms with Federal detailing, including doors similar to the main entrance hall.

After the Revolutionary War, Michael Salyer, who had built a house nearby, sold the western portion of his land to Peter Perry.

[2] Perry's will bequeathed the property to his son Jacob, who completed the current main house (if that was the case) in 1801.

Its walls of locally quarried dressed red sandstone and broad gambrel roof with wide flared eaves reflect a Dutch Colonial building tradition much more common in houses built before the war.

Inside, they installed doors consistent with the other interior decoration and put the current oak flooring down over the original wide planking.
