The Nash-Wright House

History
2
One of the oldest surviving houses in Bell's Landing (East Columbia), a town in Stephen F. Austin's colony founded in 1823 by Josiah H. Bell, this house had its earliest part built about 1847 on cedar pole framing by George Lewis Nash, who lived here with his family for about 45 years. Martha Caroline Wright, wife of merchant James P. Wright, bought the house in 1892, and the Wright family added extensive area. Their descendants own and preserve the property.
