Its beautiful red tiled roof, wrought-iron balconies, and stuccoed walls lend elegance to the campus of Oklahoma Wesleyan University. The interior has many interesting features – including hand-painted ceilings, seven fireplaces, fourteen bathrooms, and a tower that overlooks the city of Bartlesville.
