The Dr. Charles M. Wright House is a historic house located at 3 W. Jackson St. in Altamont, Illinois. The house was built in 1889 for Charles M. Wright I and his family. Wright, one of the only doctors in western Effingham County until his retirement in 1878, ran the only bank in Altamont at the time. Architect Charles H. Spilman designed the house in the Italianate style. The brick house has an asymmetrical front facade with two bay windows to the left of the front entrance; the window bays are topped by a large half-hipped dormer. The house's cornice and the tops of the window bays are decorated with brackets. As of 1985, the Wright family still lived in the house.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is one of two sites in Effingham County listed on the Register, along with the Effingham County Courthouse.[1]
