Caldwell-Wright House
Built ca. 1820, this two-story weather boarded dwelling has five bays on each story of the facade, exterior end chimneys, and a double tiered pedimented central front porch. This porch is superimposed over the three central bays of the facade. Four square wooden pillars connected by a plain wood balustrade embellish the porches. A blind lunette centers the pediment. Window sash are six over six and flank single central doors on each story of the facade. The first-story door is surmounted by a transom of vertical lights. The first story wing is a twentieth century addition. The house originally stood on the right adjoining parcel (on the site of the Zaccheus Wright House) and was moved to the rear of that parcel when the Wright House was constructed in 1912. It was moved to its present location in 1952 to avoid demolition. The house was built by John Caldwell, Newberry lawyer. In 1866 it was purchased by Robert H. Wright, father of textile magnate Zacheus F. Wright.
