-sumner wright home-

[wwpt]

 

    Actually the Homes and I more than share a property line...We Co-own the lot between us with an agreement not to build on it and leave it as open land..We share the upkeep and taxes and neither can do anything without the others consent.
    Only in Wrightwood! LOL
 
  Almost all our neighbors own at least 2 adjoining lots and that keeps the "Circle" open and  parklike.KW..Did you notice the Huge place across from Tom recently went up for Sale? With the 2 Lots North of it..Quite a bargain even for the prices today.

   Have wondered of the proximity to the original Wright Ranch of my place...Seems far enough away to give privacy..yet close enough to the homestead for easy access and security...According to the deed it was sold to a Mary Hiltebrand in 1928 and PSWT&SB became Security Title and insurance Co. Then in 1928 Mary gives trust Deed to Lewis J. Oliver for $1,150 . Mary still owned the place up until 1946.

    Now...Stop me when I'm wrong..But I heard the place across from the Robin lodge was the home to the grocer in WW and was also built in the 20's. He raised up a bunch of kids there and it also has a Meluso chimney. Back when the Grocery Store was where the First feather shop is now at the bottom of Park. Most of these houses were built near the same time and there are big similarities in their designs.

I do remember another "grocer", the Drurys (sp?) lived on lark across the street from the Anderson's, just below us.  In the 60's Drury had a little grocery store where Mt. High Pizza is now located.

Isn't history GREAT!

When I first started coming to Wrightwood, in 1965, the little market where Mile High Pizza now exists, was called Smith's Market (I think it was already Smith's by then).  And I remember shopping at Holiday Foods (now Jensen's), when they were in the building that is now Copper Creek and First Feather.

I have lived in my house, a couple of blocks from the properties you are discussing here, for over 28 years, so I know exactly which cabins you are talking about, although I don't know anything about them except what I have learned here.  Yes, history IS fun - although I sure didn't like that subject when I was in school and HAD to learn it!

     Here's one from the 3rd floor looking down...Notice the hand carved tree trunks used as Balcony rails...still sturdy after all these years.

I'll triple that $20,000 price that Glen Price paid and give you $60,000 for it. 

Looks like I am a close neighbor of yours. I am on Lark directly across the street from Wright's Cabin... which seems to be different than the Wright's House.

[RobertW]

Great Picture.  Like our place, it is obvious it was added on to over the years.

Are you close to Wright's Lake (Bog), or between Acorn and Spruce?

We are just west of Wright's Lake on the North Side of Lark... used to be Sister Mary's place... we see Wright's Cabin out the front door of our cabin.

You're related to Meluso, right?

Nope... the cabin is pure Meluso but we are not related....
