Mattie Beal House, Colonial Revival residence in Lawton, Oklahoma
The Mattie Beal House features symmetrical facades, classical details, a covered entrance for vehicles, and a two-story structure serving as a garage.
Built between 1907 and 1909, the house belonged to Martha Helen Beal, who won the second draw in the 1901 land lottery of Kiowa-Comanche-Apache territories.
The residence served as a center for social events in early Lawton, with the Payne family hosting numerous gatherings featuring music and dancing.
The Lawton Heritage Association maintains the property and offers guided tours that showcase the architectural elements and historical artifacts of the period.
Following her lottery win, Martha Beal received over 500 marriage proposals, including several from English nobility who read about her in London newspapers.
