MARLAND, CHARLOTTE, HOUSE |
| Description of Significance |
THE CHARLOTTE MARLAND HOUSE AT 919 EAST GRAND AVENUE IN PONCA CITY IS ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES UNDER CRITERION C AS AN OUTSTANDING LOCAL EXAMPLE OF EARLY 20TH CENTURY ITALIAN RENAISSANCE REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE. BUILT BETWEEN 1914 AND 1916, THE HOUSE WAS DESIGNED BY ARCHITECT GEORGE FORSYTH ON LAND ACQUIRED BY FAMOUS PONCA CITY OILMAN E. W. MARLAND. FORSYTH DESIGNED THE HOUSE FOR MARLAND’S OLDER SISTER, CHARLOTTE, WHO LIVED IN THE HOME UNTIL HER DEATH IN 1927. THE CHARLOTTE MARLAND HOUSE REPRESENTS A DISTINCT APPLICATION OF ITALIAN RENAISSANCE REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE IN PONCA CITY. THE UNIQUE T-SHAPED FOOTPRINT OF THE HOME PROVIDES THE BACKDROP FOR AN ELABORATE FRONT ENTRANCE FRAMED BY WHITE PILASTERS AND COLUMNS. WHILE MOST ITALIAN RENAISSANCE REVIVAL HOMES FEATURE SIMPLE, SYMMETRICAL FAÇADES, FORSYTH’S COMPLEX, ASYMMETRICAL APPROACH TO THE CHARLOTTE MARLAND HOUSE ENABLES IT TO COMPLEMENT YET STAND APART FROM OTHER PROPERTIES IN PONCA CITY ASSOCIATED WITH MARLAND’S OIL FORTUNE. NATIONAL REGISTER LISTED 15 JULY 2019. |
