It is also tied to Daniel Thew Wright, who served as Mayor of Riverside, practiced law in Cincinnati, and later became a justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.","narrative":"Built in 1895 at 3716 River Road in the former Village of Riverside, now part of Cincinnati, this two-and-a-half-story wooden frame house shows the Colonial Revival style with Georgian Revival details. Features include a raised front porch, engaged Ionic pilasters, pedimented gable ends, palladian windows, a dentil cornice and an uncommon bell-cast gable roof. Inside, a center hall plan, a U-shaped staircase and classically inspired mantels and door trim remain largely intact despite later conversion from a single-family home to apartments. Daniel Thew Wright bought the land from his father, a judge, and built the house soon after. He practiced law in Cincinnati, served as Village Solicitor and Mayor of Riverside, and in 1903 was appointed to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The house was recognized for its architecture and its link to Wright. Years of neglect left it deteriorated, and a new owner planned restoration.","period_of_significance":"1895","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival (with Georgian Revival elements)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as deteriorated, with recent neglect and abandonment; recently purchased with the stated intent to restore the exterior and significant interior details for income-producing use.
