H. H. Champlin House

The H.H. Champlin House is a Tudor Revival residence in Enid, Oklahoma, featuring two and a half stories of sandstone walls and Vermont slate roofing. Custom-made windows with art glass insets and additional structures including a carport and greenhouse complete the property.

The house was built in 1939 and belonged to Herbert Hiram Champlin, a businessman who established the Champlin Oil Company after discovering oil at Garber Field in 1916. It was constructed during a period of major economic transformation in Oklahoma driven by the oil industry.

The art glass windows display scenes from Oklahoma history through detailed craftsmanship created by the Jacoby Art Glass Company of St. Louis. These custom pieces shape how visitors experience the interior spaces.

The property is located at 612 S. Tyler in the Kisner Heights area of Enid. Visitors should explore the surrounding neighborhood to fully appreciate the main house and its complementary structures.

The founder's bank, established by the house owner's financial ventures, became the only bank in American history closed by military forces during the Great Depression. This rare historical episode connects the estate to an extraordinary chapter in American banking history.
