The Wright House is a historic house at 54 Vinal Avenue in Somerville, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1895 for Walter Wright, 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.[2]

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