I'm guessing at the year of about 1925. If I knew more about the makes and years of these cars maybe I could pinpoint it a little closer.

The place is just west of downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma on the 400 block of South Nogales. The address of the house on the far left is 420 South Nogales Ave.

Laura's grandfather, Jesse B. Higdon, with the help of his sons, built the house between 1916 and 1922. He and his family arrived in Tulsa from Eureka Springs, Arkansas in 1916 and he died in this house in 1922. So sometime between those years he was able to complete the building.

I assume, at least, two of these cars were owned by some members of the Higdon family. The lady in the picture probably was a Higdon as well as the two men on the porch of the house, but no identification is available.

I visited this location in 1999 and the house was still standing and in what appeared to be good condition.

I am more fascinated by the old cars than the old house. If you like old cars be sure and have a look at the large version by clicking on the picture. -----Jim
