Murray-Lindsay Mansion

Garvin County
Location: two miles south of Lindsay on SH-76 in Erin Springs
Topics: Agriculture; Family/Household; Social/Cultural; Territorial Period, 1861–1907; Transportation

Constructed by Frank Murray, who had settled in Indian Territory in the early 1870s, the home became one of the most imposing mansions in the region. When Murray first arrived in the area there was only a small one-room shack on the bank of the Washita River, which served as a stage station, and the four-room log cabin. However, Murray soon acquired vast holdings (one field alone was three miles wide and five miles long) and built the mansion for his growing family. Occupying a prominent position on a hill, the home was furnished with all the luxuries of the period and soon became the social center of the region.
