The Kennedy Mansion was built in 1925 by Dr. Samuel Kennedy. The Kennedy Mansion is now a quiet bed and breakfast with five guest rooms, hosting numerous weddings, private parties and corporate retreats throughout the year. Dr. Samuel Kennedy was Tulsa's first doctor. He was an early opinion shaper for the community. His signature is one of those on the now lost, original charter for the city. But the question remains, whether Samuel Kennedy is indeed responsible - unintentionally - for Tulsa's growth to the south. Kennedy was a county doctor who settled in Tulsa with his brother J. L. Kennedy, in 1891. He was a "specialist in every disease and ailment known to mankind. And, dentistry being never heard of, we had to extract all the aching teeth for miles around," he wrote in his memoirs. |
| When Sam Kennedy married Agnes Lombard, an Osage Indian, he used her tribal claims to accumulate thousands of acres in Osage county - land that is today Gilcrease Hills and more under development north of Tulsa. In 1913, he drilled his first oil well in Osage county, on land that was put up for sale by the Indian Agency. He and his partner, W. A. Springer, made $6 million in four years. According to the story, after a dispute with city leaders, Kennedy refused to sell the land that now makes up north Tulsa, keeping it from being developed. As a result, Tulsa moved south - away from the major highways and downtown. His own family owns up to the story. He inserted a clause into his will insisting the land not be sold for 20 years. ~ by Ashley Parrish |
