Wright Building

• the mid-row location within a contiguous series of designated commercial structures of similar character and alignment on the east side of Main Street between Third and Fourth avenues;
• the building's placement, set flush to the front sidewalk, abutting the structure to its north.

Key exterior elements that define the building as a modest two-part commercial block include:

• the two-storey rectangular form, of brick construction over a stone foundation, with a flat roofline and one-storey rear (east) wood addition with a shed roof;
• the two-part primary facade, including the main-floor storefront with a recessed entrance and large display window, the recessed south stairwell entrance with a high multi-paned transom, the differentiated design and materials of the second floor, the corner pilasters with modest corbelled caps, etc.;
• details such as the brown-red finish brick evident on the north and rear elevations, the segmental-arched openings in the upper north and rear walls, the front parapet, the stepped side parapets, etc.

Key elements that define the building's interior heritage character include:

• the open plan of the front main floor, with rooms at the rear;
• the long, plain wooden staircase in the south-side stairwell;
• the second-floor layout of rooms organized off a narrow north-south hallway shared with the adjacent Pharmacy Building;
• intact finishes such as the upper floor's lath-and-plaster walls, painted wood trim, wood flooring, etc.
