Historic name: J.H. Wright's Big Daylight Store (built 1901)

About This Property

This commercial building was constructed for J.H. Wright in 1901 to house the general merchandise business he had established in 1884. Operating under the new name of ‘The Big Daylight Store,’ it was Mansfield’s leading retail business in the years prior to World War II.

J.H. Wright played a central role in Mansfield’s development in the 19th and 20th centuries, until his death in 1942.

This building is distinguished by its pressed metal front with stacked bands of simulated stone, floral frieze and garlanded cornice.
