E. W. Marland Mansion, Mediterranean Revival mansion in Ponca City, United States.
The E. W. Marland Mansion is a Mediterranean Revival home in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Built from limestone, the residence spans three floors with 55 rooms including 10 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and 7 fireplaces throughout.
An oil tycoon commissioned architect John Duncan Forsyth to design the residence, which was completed in 1928. The mansion was built during Oklahoma's oil boom, a period when the region experienced significant economic growth.
The Hall of Merriment displays ornate carved details that reflect the owner's artistic taste. The grand ballroom with its gold leaf coffered ceiling and Waterford crystal chandeliers served as a venue for high society gatherings.
The home now operates as a museum with guided tours available throughout the week. Visitors can explore the ornate rooms and landscaped grounds at their own pace during tours.
The entrance features an arched porte-cochère supported by stone sculptures of hunting dogs. These sculptures were created to honor the former owner's favorite hunting companions.
