Described as a “country type house” by G.A. Nichols, this English Tudor cottage was sold in 1924 to one of Oklahoma City’s most colorful politicians—Albert L. McRill. Born October 1, 1880, in Richmond, Kansas, McRill was a newspaperman who moved to Oklahoma City in 1907 to attend Epworth College. He completed his law degree and opened a practice, but he is best remembered for his work as city manager at the beginning of the Great Depression when he helped create the Community Camp to provide shelter for people. In 1932 the home was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Kincannon Cavett, who had four daughters. He was secretary of the William T. Hales Company and treasurer of the Local Federal Savings and Loan Association. He later served as co-trustee and manager of the Hales estate when the multimillionaire died.

Lu & Blake Hoenig moved to the home in 1975 and featured it on the 1981 Historic Home Tour.
