Peter Bonnett Wight, a renowned architect and designer, left an indelible mark on the world of architecture with his exceptional creations. One such masterpiece is the elegant Dining Room chair from 1876. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, this chair epitomizes Wight's artistic vision. In addition to furniture design, Wight also showcased his talent in architectural projects. The Competition Design Drawing for National Park Bank in New York City stands as a testament to his innovative thinking. Created around 1866, this drawing reflects Wight's ability to seamlessly blend functionality and aesthetics. Another notable work by Peter Bonnett Wight is the Perspective of Middletown Bank in New York from 1862. This perspective captures the grandeur of the building while highlighting its intricate architectural elements, showcasing Wight's mastery over spatial design.

The Wall Stencil Design for Ottawa Opera House in Illinois showcases his ability to infuse drama into every aspect of his work.

The Competition Design Drawing for Dry Dock Savings Bank in New York City from 1858 exemplifies Wight's visionary approach towards creating functional yet visually striking structures that stand out amidst their surroundings. One cannot overlook Wight's contribution to residential architecture either. The Eliphalet W. Blatchford House in Chicago boasts an exquisite LaSalle Street Elevation that exudes timeless charm and grace. Widely regarded as one of his most significant works, the Dome Decoration at Williamsburg Savings Bank in Brooklyn showcases both opulence and intricacy through its stunning craftsmanship dating back to 1873.
