Upham-Wright House
From Licking County Library's Wiki!
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]
