to claim your own little plot of land. april 22, 1889, the day of the land run, there were people living in this area. the population went from 0 to either 200,000-500,000 overnight. it took time to set up the city laws and government, so officially the city was incorporated in 1891. the city's namesake, norman, he was an early land surveyor. the story goes that his team was called norman's camp. they carved the phrase "norman's camp" into a tree in bishops creek, and that is how the area became known as norman. this house is located in what is called old silk stocking road, which is a reference to the wealthy residents of this early neighborhood, meaning they could

afford to wear silk stockings. this victorian-style home cost $5,000 to build at the time, so and in the average norman 1899. home cost around $400-$500, so this was a big showplace of for the community. there are articles in the first newspapers, that people were happy about the beautiful home in their community. people would take their sunday walks by the house to see mrs. lindsay's rose garden, or to see her beautiful turtle room -- tur ret room. so this is a big showplace, even though it is maybe not as bigger grant at some of the other east coast homes at the time. for this area and for this time period, this was a beautiful home. so this is a space where you wanted to have your best furniture on display.

you got some dark wood furniture, handsewn pieces. this was a space where you wanted to impress your guests. mr. moore and mrs. lindsay were involved in the community through city council, school board and churches, so this was a space where they could have those conversations with other leaders in the community. this house has seen a lot of history happen through norman. norman has had a navy base, the great depression, there was the growth of the university, and it has been through a lot and his house has been through all of it. we hope that provides that kind of representation to the community. >> our cities tour staff recently traveled to norman, oklahoma, to learn about its rich history. learn more about norman and other stops on our two or at c-span.org/citiestour.
