This unusual two-story Colonial Revival home was built by Nichols and Chandler in the winter of 1918. It was sold for $31,500 to Sarah and Bernard J. Kaufman.

Features include a large tiled front porch, a striking foyer, and French doors that lead to the living room.

Bernand was a native of Germany who immigrated to America at the age of 19, then moved west and settled in Guthrie. In Oklahoma City he opened Kaufman’s Parisian on Main Street, advertised as the “Largest Ladies’ ready-to-wear store in the Southwest.” The Kaufmans redecorated in the late 1920s and added hand painted designs around the ceilings.

During the 1950s and 1960s the home was occupied by Mr. John Morton, who eventually rose to become President of Cities Services Corporation.

In 1977 the home was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas S. Zercher, who undertook the first major restoration of the place since 1962. They replumbed, remodeled most rooms, patched stucco and repainted the exterior, built a pool, and added a deck.

Brett and Carrie Todd purchased the home from Drs. Dan and Renee Jones in 2003. The Todds decorated the home with a collection of European antiques and tapestries. Carrie was an interior decorator and completed the home with her unique ability to combine elegance with function. They featured the home on the 2004 Home Tour.
