This lot was purchased in May of 1922 by Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Bennett for $3,900. Bennett, who built the home, moved to Oklahoma Territory about 1900. In 1927 his career reached a highpoint when he was appointed presiding officer of the Supreme Court Commission. While most of the homes on this block were designed by G.A. Nichols and were Colonial with red brick this home is constructed of tobacco-hued bricks and its architecture is greatly influenced by the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Four grandly proportioned steps lead to a broad front porch which spans the entire front of the home. A broad concrete band separates the first floor from the second as well as another matching concrete band under the first-floor windows which visually reinforce the strong horizontal lines of the structure, reflecting the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Style. The pagoda style roofline was also very likely influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel which was completed in Tokyo in 1923, the same year that this dwelling was completed. An eyebrow arch marquee supported by a pair of Doric columns and a pair of sidelights frame the principal entrance. A screened-in sun porch on the east completes the façade of the home.

The entry is a small vestibule which leads into the center hallway. The living room is to the east with a windowed music room at the south end of the room. Doors to the south of the fireplace lead to the screened-in porch. There are generous crown moldings and door and window casings throughout the home. The formal dining room is on the west side and the kitchen and breakfast room is in the rear. The second story of this home was originally composed of four bedrooms. At sometime the two east bedrooms were combined into one principal bedroom with a sitting room and bath. Completing the second floor are the two original bedrooms and a shared bath. The home was featured on the 2023 Historic Home Tour.
