The building at 22 South Williams Street was built in 1886. The Wright brothers rented it from 1895 to 1897. The bicycle store was on the main floor, and their printing shop was on the second floor.
In 1896, while they were here, the brothers started selling bicycles of their own design, the Van Cleve and the St. Clair.
This is the only one of the Wrights' six shops still standing, and the only one still on its original foundation. The Wright Flyer was not built here. It was built at their last shop, on West Third Street. This building became a National Historic Landmark in 1990.
