This English style of architecture was meant to exhibit comfort through the irregularity of the window placement, half-timbering, wings and intersecting rooflines. It is constructed of wooden framework with brick veneer finish. The façade features a large irregularly shaped chimney and a distinctive entrance. The home was built at a cost of $52,000 in 1937 by Mr. James F. Luke, manager of the J. C. Penney store.

It featured air-conditioning, full insulation and an abundance of auxiliary rooms. The home was built with nine principal rooms. The first floor featured a living room, dining room, kitchen and sunroom. It had the added convenience of two butler's pantries, a large reception hall with circular staircase to the second floor and a half bath. Upstairs featured five bedrooms with generous closet space and three bathrooms. The basement accommodated a recreation room with fireplace, utility room and half-bathroom. A. C. Reed served as the general contractor and the architect was H. Jerome Picker.

The home was sold in 1941 to Mr. Frank Meadors, manager of Downtown Chevrolet. The Meadors only stayed in the home for a year before selling to May and Richard W. Robberson who lived in the home until 1979. Born three years after the land run of 1889 near Norman, Richard began working for the J.B. Klein Iron and Foundry Company during his youth. He rose through the ranks and in 1927 became President of the company, the largest iron foundry in the state. He renamed the company Robberson Steel Company.

May was born February 13, 1899,in La Grange, Illinois, and grew up in Choctaw, Oklahoma. Richard and May were married on February 15, 1924. They had three children, James, Glenn, and Martiena. Richard died in February 1980 at age 87. May died October 25, 1989,at age 90.

In 1980 Barbara and John M. Nichols purchased the home and restored it to its original cottage décor. Moving in with their son Michael and his two sisters, Meg and Sarah, they painted the exterior in its original colors and removed wrought iron added by the Robbersons. They replaced most windows, restored the dining room, installed a new floor in the family room, and renovated the sunroom complete with original Italian tile floor. The goal was to return the house to much as it was in 1937.

Fast forward to the next generation when the Nichols’ son, Michael, and his wife, Katherine, bought the home he grew up in.  They made the home "theirs" through extensive renovations. Floors were refinished, recessed lighting added, walls painted, and woodwork refinished. The kitchen was completely renovated including a complete redesign of the floor plan. By moving the laundry to the basement and replacing a window that had been removed, an open, modern kitchen that felt perfectly comfortable with its 1930 roots was created. Fun touches were around every corner like the wallpapered ceiling in the dining room. The downstairs bathroom featured original tile.

The second floor showed the same thoughtfulness in re-design. A small reading room was closed off from the upper foyer and incorporated into the new master closet. Their son's room was Michael's boyhood room and the bathroom was completely redone. By creating a hall around the back of the foyer the Nichols were able to move the bathroom to adjoin two bedrooms. A functioning laundry chute remained in the hall cabinets. The Nichols featured the home on the 2013 Home Tour.
