Marland Estate Mansion

The mansion was built in the 1920s and was the home of E. W. Marland, the 10th governor of Oklahoma. The building is considered an architectural masterpiece with a rich history. The mansion has more than 50 rooms, including a swimming pool, an artist studio, and a boathouse. The ceilings in the mansion are incredibly aesthetic as they were individually hand-painted by an Italian muralist.
