This home was built in 1898 by Edward Everhart and sold to David Wright on July 24, 1899. Located at 814 East Avenue, it was the home of early pharmacist David Wright, who in 1906 installed Katy's first telephone lines from the house to the doctor's home and the drug store. The house was extensively remodeled twice, and three generations of the Wright family lived there. In 1991, Fred and Roberta (Wright) Rylander donated it to the Katy Heritage Society, and in 2003 the house was moved to Katy Heritage Park.
