Inscription. The house at 214 E. Orchard Ave. is on lot No. 6 and 29½ ft. of lot No. 5 of the 1880 Wright Addition to Lebanon. The land was owned by Dr. Edward B. Wright. In 1882, he sold the property to Louisa and Lot Wright (no relation). Built around that year, the house is in the Floraville Historic District on a hill that overlooks Lebanon.

Lot and Louisa Wright met while attending college in Lebanon. Lot was wounded twice in the Civil War. He was a clerk of courts, US marshal, probate judge and county treasurer. Louisa was Lebanon's first female superintendent of schools. While theirs, the house was damaged by a fire. After Lot died here it was sold in 1902.
