To have a collection you must first have a place to keep it, so when we moved back to Oklahoma we wanted to move into the Historic district and this place came up for sale at the right time. Built in 1907 which is state hood for Oklahoma, The home was owned 65 years by Wilma Franklin, her son John Franklin was a two time Pulitzer Prize winner. When we bought the place everything was painted white but all the wood trim was untouched, saving the great wood work. For the 3 of us it's a great little house but the collections will soon take over, have plans to build a shop out back which will help some but I'm sure in time we may need a larger place.
I love old houses, yours is great looking.
Nice old house. I'll have to post mine someday as it was built in the 1920's.
Very nice! Beautiful piece of Oklahoma history!
Thanks everyone, it's been a fun project.
This Spring I plan to finish the roof, started the porch with brown shingles.
Very nice, I like the colours.
Love it....would like to see some inside pic too, if you wish to share.
I love your home!!!!!!
Thank you, it has some nice old would work etc. If I can get some good lighting to show the details I would, Pictures other wise just do the inside no justice.
What a beautiful home, have you finished yet?...took 8 years to do ours up ..then we went and sold it...:-(
Never ending, have more plans, building a office/art studio out back to match the house, new fence, new roof and other changes as i have time, labor of love.
lol!...we are onto our last and final one and if we can get it half as nice as your I will be happy...it looks like a very much loved home!...:-)
Yes, pics of the inside please. I would love to see the original wood.
