Fred and Adeline Drummond House, Historic house museum in Hominy, United States.
The Fred and Adeline Drummond House is a residential building in Shingle style architecture with a central square tower, balconies, and decorative dormers. The first floor displays local red sandstone while the upper stories are covered with green wooden shingles.
Frederick Drummond immigrated from Scotland in 1884 and built this house in 1905 after establishing a successful trading business in Oklahoma Territory. The construction took place during a period of economic growth in the region.
The house shows how successful merchant families lived in early Oklahoma and remains a landmark in the town's identity. The tower and bay windows were signs of prosperity and reflected how business families displayed their wealth through architecture.
Visitors can explore the interior on days when the house is open, with tours operating on a first-come, first-served basis. It is best to arrive early since the number of visitors may be limited at any given time.
The basement contained an advanced gas-generating system and water cistern that provided the house with modern utilities around 1905. This technical equipment was quite progressive for that era.
