MULKYS IN OKLAHOMA

The Daily Oklahoman of Oklahoma City, Okla., has devoted considerable space to a description of the $20,000 home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Mulky, now under course of construction, and also produced an excellent picture of the structure. Mr. Mulky will be remembered here as a son of Major Mulky, deceased, a long time resident of Bloomington.

The following is the article: "Four massive Corinthian pillars stand as sentinels at the entrance of the new home of Frank L. Mulky, 201 West Fourteenth Street. The residence to be one of the handsomest in Oklahoma City both exteriorally and interiorally, is rapidly nearing completion. It will be ready for occupancy within another month.

"Inside the Georgian-type of colonial architecture has been carried out in a reproduction of a Salem, Mass., home designed by Samuel McIntyre, a colonial architect of the early days. The wainscoting, panelings and door facings are of pure white.

"In the dining room and the reception room on the first floor the mantels and hearths are of white marble with the white colonial and ivory finish throughout.

"An outstanding feature of the Mulky home is that it is to be a gem of light and ventilation. Scores of roomy windows are to be found in every part of the structure.

"It doesn't take the eye of a connoisseur to tell that a woman's hand had much to do with the planning of the interior of the house, so well have the many conveniences, that only a woman would foresee, being arranged.

"The answer to this is that Mrs. Mulky has seen practically every piece of timber that has gone into the construction, being at her new home every day to consult with the builders about the most minute details.

"As a result, the house is a model of modernity and convenience. There are clothes closets and pantries galore. The kitchen with its rows of shelves for utensils and a large white enamel basin would delight the heart of any housewife.

"Mrs. Mulky takes special pride in the room at the northeast corner upstairs which leads off from her living room. It is to be antique to a degree, the finish being after the style in vogue in Independence Hall, Philadelphia. A bed of the vintage of '76 with seven foot posts is to be a part of the furnishings of the room."
