In 1906, he built his house from lumber cut off the mountain. He swapped his share of the lumber for enough lumber to build his home. He hand picked the lumber which was mostly pure heart pine. His children, Zelma, Lillian, Hiriam, Ina Mae , Aurelia, Julius, and Cornelia were born in this house. Bun Wright, was a favorite musician of Pres. Franklin Roosevelt.
