-sumner wright home-
« on: Aug 26, 05, 12:04:51 AM »
is anybody as fascinated with this structure as i am?  i finally found the home and walked around it when i visited a couple weeks ago.  what potential this place offers.  i'm becoming obsessed with wright's property primarily because it's just sitting there while holding the keys to wrightwood's history.

and i wish i had known years ago that lee marvin's cabin was two lots away.  for decades i walked past both cabins and never new what i was looking at.

thank you wrightwood museum.

No. The Wright home is on the southwest corner of Lark and Mill.

It's the brown "older looking" cabin on the Southwest corner of Mocking Bird and Mill.

Acorn Lodge is on the corner of Acorn and Mockingbird.  It too, has a lot of "history" in Wrightwood.  Come to think of it, so does "Robin Lodge" on the corner of Sparks and Robin.  Somebody needs to put a list of historical cabins together...

Don't forget the cabin on the corner of Victorville and Irene was only 6 yrs shy of being Bud's birthplace

..."Wrightwood has no history what so ever". 

:f_ufo:
Well, since that is completely impossible, maybe we can get her to take a trip to the museum on a weekend.  :)

We purchased our cabin in April of this year.  Actually we made the decision in February when WW was under several feet of snow.  But not until we closed on the property did we get a chance to explore the neighborhood. We were curious about that old looking cabin directly across the street.   One day I was perusing the history section of this forum and I saw a picture of Sumner Wright's cabin. I say to my wife " that kinda looks like the cabin across the street..." She says your kidding.  We print out the picture and compare it to the cabin across the street and sure enough, its the same cabin! We had no idea when we bought the place that we were moving next door to a WW historical landmark... and Lee Marvin's cabin a couple of lots away to boot. Not to mention that fact that we have (almost) lake front property.. Lake Wright that is.  You can be that if we ever decide to sell this cabin (unlikely) the future owners will know all this stuff before they buy.  Now if they would just fill the lake up with water again.. ;-)

I am also kindof curious to know where exactly the San Andreas fault runs in this area. From every thing I have been able to gather it looks like it runs though the lake, then just to the south of Wright's cabin and along Oriole, but that is just a guess.
