Moore–Lindsay House, Victorian house museum in Norman, United States.
The Moore-Lindsay House is a residence with Victorian architecture in Norman, Oklahoma. It displays throughout its rooms elaborate woodwork, furnished spaces, and decorative elements from the 1800s.
William and Agnes Moore built the house in 1899 for $5,000, when most new homes in the Oklahoma Territory cost about $400. In 1907, the year Oklahoma became a state, they moved to Oklahoma City and sold it to their niece Daisy Lindsay and her husband Harry. Daisy lived there until her death in 1951; the city of Norman bought the house in 1973 and renovated it as a museum.
The house is named after its former owners and displays objects from Oklahoma's territorial development period. Visitors can see how well-to-do families lived during that era.
The house is open to visitors on certain days of the week, and it's wise to check ahead for which days and times you can visit. Guided tours are offered to help you learn about the history and rooms.
The museum preserves a large collection of items from the time when Oklahoma was a territory, showing what the region was like before it became a state. These objects provide insight into daily life during that early period.
