PRESERVATION STATUS
Two reviews are underway.
The project is pursuing formal preservation review while keeping public claims narrower than the evidence.
Oklahoma SHPO preliminary opinion
A preliminary opinion of eligibility package has been submitted to the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office with alteration history and current exterior photographs. The office acknowledged receipt and indicated that it would review the material. No eligibility determination is claimed on this website unless and until one is issued.
National Trust 2027 nomination
A nomination has been submitted for the National Trust for Historic Preservation's 2027 America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places program. A nomination is not a selection, designation or guarantee of funding.
Current preservation documentation
The house has never been moved according to family knowledge. The preservation submission records surviving original framing, original siding beneath later wood siding, portions of original wood-plank interior fabric, the interior well and surviving kitchen-chimney brick in the attic, alongside documented later alterations.
