Miami's George L. Coleman Sr. House is a red brick mansion complex built in 1918 in Miami, OK, a few blocks from Route 66. House, courtyard and garage are all joined together, stretching about 80 by 180 feet. Georgian Revival features give it a stately look, and it has been on the National Register since 1983. It shares its name with the Coleman Theatre, about a mile away.

What is George L. Coleman Sr. House?

The complex rises two and a half stories. Instead of standing apart, the house, courtyard and garage connect into one long composition. The red brick walls are laid in common bond, and the design draws on Georgian Revival features, giving the whole estate a formal, orderly face toward the street.

History of George L. Coleman Sr. House

Visiting George L. Coleman Sr. House: tips

This is a private house, so view it from the street or public sidewalk and respect the owners' privacy. Ten minutes is enough. The Coleman Theatre is about a mile away and the Miami Marathon Oil Company Service Station about 1.3 miles, so the house fits into a short Miami loop. The statue of Mickey Mantle in Commerce is about 2.9 miles off, and fuel is about 0.9 mile away.
