The first of E.W. Marland's mansions in Ponca City, Oklahoma, the E.W. Marland Estate #1, was the home of Oklahoma's Governor, United States Congressman, oil baron, and founder of Marland Oil Company. It is a product of the Eclectic Period and combines Italian Renaissance architecture with traditional Japanese garden design. It is listed as an Oklahoma Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places. History: The Marland Estate #1, built from to by oil magnate E.W. Marland, consisted of 22 rooms. Smaller than his second mansion, which had 55 rooms, it still is a considerable property designed by George Forsyth. The grounds were designed by Japanese gardener Henry Hatashita, who also designed the gardens at Marland's second mansion a decade later.
Originally, the gardens spanned over 80 acres and included a golf course which was located to the north of the house. Marland sold this house to Jay Paris upon the completion of his newer, larger mansion in who in turn sold it to the city of Ponca City. Today, it serves as the Ponca City Cultural Center, which includes the Bryant Baker Studio, Daughters of the American Revolution Memorial Museum, the 101 Ranch Room, and Indian Museum.
