This is a photo
of the Wright House in the early 1900's. There is a connection to
the original building that was connected in the late 1900's, which might
have been a summer project. The Wright House developed inside and out as
the years flew by. The inside was known to be very classy.

On August 19th
and 20th of 1897, there was the 11th Annual Bucktail Reunion at the Wright
House. The balcony was covered with flags and ribbons and also there
was a mounted deer hanging off of the balcony above the crowd of people.
The people in front of the Wright House were the members of the "Biddle
Bully Bucktail Boys."
In 1898, there
was a huge Fourth of July celebration at the Wright House. During
these celebrations most of the buildings in town were decorated with flags
and different props. Many people gathered along the streets during these
type of activities. It seemed as if these activities were bringing
the town together. The town's activities were very organized and most of
the people involved in these events remember them with smiles and great
pride.
