Historic name: J.H. Wright House (built 1895 (TAD 1904) (1915))

About This Property

This is the remnant of an impressive two-story residence built for John Howard Wright in 1904. The original house, designed by Fort Worth architects S.H. Smith and L.G. Schenk, had two-story colonnades on the front and east facades. It was reconstructed following a fire in 1966. 

J.H. Wright moved to Mansfield in 1873 from Missouri and was a major force in the town’s development until his death in 1942. He established Mansfield’s first bank, owned the largest mercantile business, and was crucial in bringing the railroad through Mansfield. When he built his mansion in 1904, he moved the family’s wood-frame house from the site to its present location across the street at 305 W. Broad Street.

This house is an officially recognized historic resource of the City of Mansfield.
