Banker and oilman Breckenridge Stephens Walker (1876-1929) had this three-story brick residence constructed in 1922 as a wedding present for his daughter, Pansy. Prominently sited at the top of a hill, the home featured the town's first central heating system and a bank vault in the basement. The Tudor Revival style structure stands as a symbol of Walker's financial success during Breckenridge's oil boom days.
