The Kennedy Mansion is a dwelling located at 502 S. Okmulgee Ave. in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.[2] The mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma on December 10, 2014.[2]

History[edit]

The mansion is located southwest of the commercial core of Okmulgee, which is itself NRHP-listed as the Okmulgee Downtown Historic District.[2][3] It was constructed for Asa D. Kennedy and Nellie Kennedy; Asa D. Kennedy was a bank founder and real estate investor.[2][4] The house was completed in 1904 by builder Henry Clay Kennady (sic).[2] The house is a sub-type of the Colonial Revival style, having a hipped roof with a full-width porch; about one-third of Colonial Revival houses built prior to 1915 were of this sub-type.[2]

A two-story clapboard Carriage House, also built around 1904 and located southwest of the main house, is a contributing structure on the property.[2] Also contributing is a one-story shed, built around 1915, which has a set of hinged doors on the side gable elevation and a double hung window in each gable end.[2] A non-contributing structure, a garage built circa 2000, is also on the property.[2] The house is still a private residence.[5]
