Original Chauffeur's Cottage
John Duncan Forsyth,
master architect for the Marland Estate,
designed the original chauffeur's quarters
and garage. Several architectural elements
used in the mansion were implemented in a
smaller version in the cottage, including
the scalloped ceiling and fish-scale stone
floor in the entry. The exterior limestone
and red clay tile roof match the other
original buildings on the estate.
The house included a
living room, , kitchen, and half-bath on the
ground level, with two bedrooms, and a full
bath upstairs, plus four garages and two
carriage stalls.
Home To
Marland's
Marland and his wife,
Lydie, returned to Ponca City and the
Marland Estate in 1939, following E.W.'s
term as governor of Oklahoma. Forsyth
remodeled the carriage area of the
chauffeur's house into a bedroom and
bathroom, and E.W. and Lydie made this
cottage their home. They only opened the
mansion occasionally for special events.
