About the Lamerton House
Design and History
This two-story house looks like an old English Tudor home. It was designed in 1928 by a well-known architect named John Duncan Forsyth. He was from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The house was built for Dr. William E. Lamerton and his wife, Grace T. Lamerton.
John Duncan Forsyth also designed another house for their son, Park Lamerton. That house was built in a different style called Colonial Revival.
The Lamerton family later developed their large property. They turned it into several neighborhoods over the years. These areas were named Lamerton Terrace (in 1932), Lamerton's 2nd Addition (in 1952), and Lamerton's 3rd Addition (in 1954).
Because of its history and special design, the Lamerton House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 20, 1997. This list includes important buildings across the United States.
