The Upham-Wright House is one of the best examples of mid-nineteenth century Gothic Revival architecture in Ohio.^[1] The house is located at 342 Granville Street in Newark, Ohio, and was built between 1849-1850^[2] by George Upham. The home was purchased by Virgil Wright in 1868 and remained in the Wright family throughout much of the twentieth century.^[3] One of the home’s most famous residents was Mary Sherwood Wright Jones, a nationally renowned artist.^[4] The home is styled after the “Downing Cottage” aesthetic and features ornate roof decorations, clustered chimneys, a wide veranda, and an upper balcony.^[5]
