John Wright Mansion

The John Wright Mansion is a historic farmhouse located east of Bellevue in northwestern Huron County, Ohio, United States.

Besides buying land, he was prominent for his military service as a four-year veteran of the United States Army during the Civil War.

This combination was quite unusual: Second Empire houses are found far more often in urban settings, and massive residences of the style are very rare on farmsteads in the region.

[2] Built of brick,[3] this three-story house is topped with a mansard roof and prominent dormers; the front is symmetrical and ornamented with a bracketed porch in the Italianate style.

Toward the rear, a wing as tall as the rest of the house extends southward; the interior is composed of a substantial ballroom and twenty-three other rooms.
