Peter Conser House, Historic wooden house in LeFlore County, United States.
Description
The Peter Conser House is a wooden residence built in vernacular style and stands on four acres near Heavener with a companion structure on the same property. The construction displays simple craftsmanship that was typical for homes built in this region during the 1890s.
History
The house was built in 1894 as the residence of Peter Conser, a former Confederate soldier who later became Chief Lighthorseman of his district. His position shows that he held an important role in the governance of his community after the Civil War era.
Culture
The house shows how people in the Choctaw Nation area built homes using methods passed down through generations during the late 1800s. Walking through it reveals the practical knowledge and skills that families relied on to create shelter with local resources.
Practical
The property is located along a rural road in Heavener and sits on private land, so advance permission is required to visit. The grounds have unpaved paths, so visitors should be prepared for changing conditions depending on the season and recent weather.
