PROJECT DATA

• This project involves the restoration and expansion of the Travis Mansion.
• The 11,000-square-foot existing mansion is expanded to 27,000 square feet with a two-story, steel-framed addition to the south and east.
• Both buildings house museum exhibits, however, the expansion is a more traditional museum environment while the existing building will retain the look of a residence. Sections of the museum are intended for receptions, weddings and other events.
• The renovation of the existing mansion includes a museum quality central heating and air conditioning system, kitchen upgrades and removal of add-ons to the original 1920 structure.
• Several existing features of the mansion will be retained including the hard wood floors, the fireplaces, and the paneled library with its hard-cast plaster ceiling.
• Skylights and outdoor patios give the expansion an open feel while creating an exterior compatible to the mansion's architectural style.This project is the recipient Associated Builders and Contractors of Oklahoma Excellence in Construction Award in 2008
