The Marland Grand Home was Ernest and Mary Marland's first house in Ponca City, completed in 1916 — a stately Italianate brick mansion that was lavish by the standards of the day but would be eclipsed by the much larger Mansion a decade later. They lived here until 1928, when they moved into the new estate, and the Grand Home then served as the headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution and other civic groups.
It is now a small museum, restored to its 1920s appearance and open to the public for tours. The contrast between this house and the later Mansion is the most direct way to grasp the scale of Marland's oil money.
