History
See also: Drummond family (Oklahoma)

Frederick Drummond, a Scottish emigrant, moved to the Osage Nation in 1886. There he met Adeline Gentner from Coffeyville, Kansas and they married in 1890.[2] In 1903 they moved to Hominy, Oklahoma.[3]

The house was constructed in 1905 and served as the home of Frederick Drummond and the Drummond family. The home was given to the Oklahoma Historical Society in 1980 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The Oklahoma Historical Society operates the home as a historic house museum.[2]

Design

The house is built in a late Victorian style with a central square tower, balcony, and false dormers. It is the only residence in the Hominy area with the Victorian Shingle Style.[4] The first story is made of sandstone and the upper floors are a wood frame covered with green painted shingles. The home was built with a basement that contained a gas-generating unit and water cistern that provided the home with running water.[2]

The listing included three contributing buildings. Besides the main house, there is a 13 by 14 feet (4.0 m × 4.3 m) tiny home termed the "Moses House". This was home to a black man named Moses who did handyman work for the family.[4]
