Wright in 1890.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the finest achievements of the Queen Anne style in Northwest Ohio, remaining virtually unaltered as a Toledo landmark. It was also the home of Dr. John A. Wright, a physician who pioneered the local use of x-rays and used Toledo's first Roentgen x-ray machine from 1909.","narrative":"Occupying most of a city block along Cherry Street, a main route into downtown Toledo, this Queen Anne house was built in 1888-89 and later became the home of Dr. John A. Wright. It is a 2½-story painted red brick building with stone and wood trim, five molded chimneys, a multi-gabled roof and a tower topped by a pyramidal steeple with iron cresting. Carved stone lintels, stained glass and extensive incised woodwork on gables and porches decorate it, and an L-shaped brick carriage barn stands beside it. The nomination praises it as one of the finest Queen Anne works in Northwest Ohio. Wright, who began practice in Toledo in 1877, used the city's first Roentgen x-ray machine from 1909 in an office built next to the house, since demolished. He also wrote for medical journals and built apartments, including the Majestic. Burns from his x-ray work contributed to his death in 1929.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"The form lists the property as occupied and private. It notes the house is virtually unaltered, while the carriage barn lost its cupola and a roof section and the doctor's office was demolished. The future of the property was described as in serious doubt after the 1977 death of the last family occupant.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.315227-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/78002129.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002129/c841dcfcd5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78002129/c841dcfcd5-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr._John_A._Wright_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr._John_A._Wright_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71990019","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138542549"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lucas-county/wright-dr-john-a-house-78002129/"}
