The Historic Mattie Beal Home

The Mattie Beal home is a historic home in Lawton, OK. Mattie Beal (only 21) was the second name drawn for the Lawton district land lottery in 1901. Her and her husband, Charles Warren Payne, started the home's construction in 1907. They, along with their three daughters, hosted many parties and festivities here. In 1974 the Lawton Heritage Association purchased the home and began a series of refurbishing and renovations. I am so in love with this house. My photos do NOT do it justice.
