Quinn Evans/Architects. 1999. Historic structure report - The Wright Cycle Company building (HS-01). Historic Structure Report. National Park Service, Department of the Interior
The Wright Cycle Company building’s significance stems from the fact that it was in this building that the Wright’s printing and bicycle businesses were brought together under the same roof. During their occupancy, the Wright brothers began manufacturing their own brand of bicycles. It was also in this building that the Wright brothers began to consider the problems of powered flight. The Wright Cycle Company building is listed in the 1989 National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form as a contributing structure in the West Third Street Historic District, and was also designated a National Historic Landmark on June 21, 1990. This report contains a description of the property, analyzes historic information as it relates to the property, summarizes archeological investigations at the property, evaluates existing conditions, and provides recommendations for further research and maintenance of the building. The report is based on documentary evidence collected to date, limited physical probing and destructive testing, and architectural inspection.
