The Wright House is a historic house at 54 Vinal Avenue in Somerville, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1892 for Walter H. Wright,[2] owner of a milk can manufacturer. It is predominantly Queen Anne style in its massing, with numerous projecting bays, including a turret-like section over the single-story front porch. Most of its architectural elements, however, are shingled, and there are bands of decorative cut shingles in various places.[3] Shepard S. Woodcock was the architect.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
