Upham-Wright Mound

The Upham-Wright House located at 342 Granville Street was built between 1849-1850 by George Upham. The home was purchased by Virgil Wright in 1868 and remained in the Wright family throughout much of the twentieth century. One of the home’s most famous residents was Mary Sherwood Jones, a nationally renowned artist. The mound was incorporated into the landscape and can be seen between the private driveway to the home and the driveway to Newark High School.
