Howard J. Sherman originally built this two-story house of steel 
reinforced concrete in the country. He called his property "the farm" and raised 
turkeys there. Mr. Sherman was the seventeenth employee of the Phillips 
Petroleum Company in Bartlesville. He later moved to Tulsa to form 
McIntyre-Sherman-Cummings which obtained interests in the Texas Oil Field 
discovery of 1936. This house is vertically massed with open decks topped with a 
triple pipe railing. There is a curved second floor balcony and a porte cochere 
allowing automobile approach to a side door.
