| Marker Text | Residence of Mt. Vernon's first physician, William C. Wright (1820-1890), a North Carolinian who married Mary Rutherford in Tennessee and moved here in 1850. About 1870, Dr. Wright built this house, making earlier home into hospital. (It was so used until 1945.) Dr. and Mrs. Wright gave (1889) this house to youngest daughter, Jennie (Mrs. Charles) Vaughan, whose daughter Jessie lived here until 1971. Bought 1972 and restored by Ruth Elliott Monden.
