The Ely Wright House is a historic house located at 901 Sixth Street in Wausau, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 1, 1982.[1]

Description and history

The fine Italianate style house is two stories, clapboard-clad, with a rectangular cupola. The hood moulds above the windows are decorated with a vine carving. The front door has an elliptical fanlight and sidelights framed by a porch with Doric columns. It was designed and built by John Mercer in 1881.[2]

The house belonged to Ely Wright. Wright was a native of Athens, Pennsylvania who came to Wausau in the 1870s[3] and founded Wausau Iron Works, which built machinery for railroads and sawmills in Wisconsin.[4]
