The Moore-Lindsay House is a Queen Anne style Victorian historic home located in Norman, Oklahoma. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and now houses a museum. ==History== The Moore-Lindsay House was built starting in 1899 by William and Agnes Moore. The couple spent $5,000 to build their "Princess Anne" style home, at a time when most new houses in the Oklahoma Territory were being built for about $400. The Moores, who had moved from St. Joseph, Missouri, invested in real estate and, in 1899, was named president of the Norman Building and Loan Association. In 1907, the year in which the Oklahoma Territory became the state of Oklahoma, the Moores moved to Oklahoma City. They sold the home to Harry and Daisy Lindsay. Daisy Lindsay was a niece of the Moores. Harry Lindsay was president of the Norman Grain and Milling Company. He also served on the Norman City Council and the Norman School Board. Daisy Lindsay was active in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the Norman Garden Club, and the literary club - the Old Regime Club. The Lindsay's had one child, Mary Agnes, who attended the University of Oklahoma and married Charles W. Wantland in 1911. Wantland played football under coach Bennie Owen, and after finishing his studies went on to be hired by Central State Normal School (now the University of Central Oklahoma) in Edmond, Oklahoma, to coach the school's football team. Wantland Stadium and Wantland Hall are both named for him. The Lindsays remained in Norman, and Daisy Lindsay lived in the house until her death in 1951. After that time, the house was sold and divided into apartments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moore-Lindsay House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
