ARDMORE’S FORGOTTEN HOUSE
Dear readers, we are trying to solve a mystery. My name is Dawn and my partner’s name is Robert. We have been looking at buying a house, but not just any house. We were hoping to buy the house on Sunset Drive at address 415. Unfortunately to our dismay, we could not. However, while we were doing some research on the house we have discovered that this house has been forgotten, and we don’t say this lightly. As our research continued, we discovered that the house was built by Guy Harris in 1932 after he had purchased some land from the Anderson Family out of Los Angeles, California. Guy Harris had a Buick car dealership here in Ardmore, OK back in the early 1900’s. He lived in said house with his sister Bulla Hightower until 1970. The house was then vacant for about a year, until 1972 when it was bought just before Harris’s death by Robert Cox. Robert and his wife would end up divorcing which lead to the house being put through a lengthy estate process. Since then, the house has been vacant until Daniel Jordan and his wife bought it. They only lived there less then a year. According to records, the house has not been listed (other than the land it sits on) for 20 years. The assessor’s office has no blueprints on the house, or any real information about the owners now. As we continue our research to find the blueprints, we learned that the house was sold by Mrs. Jordan in 1997 to Thelma Fonseca out of Los Angeles, California. We have recently learned that Mrs. Fonseca has passed and the house has gone into a trust of sorts back to the original Anderson family in Los Angeles. There is not a mortgage on the house thanks to the Steven J. Wells Revocable Trust paid in full to American National Bank.  To this day, the house is still vacant, and sadly it is fading away.  We have heard from quite a few members of the community of how they would love to see the house brought back to its previous glory with the love and care of a family.
That is as far as we have gotten on our own. We would dearly like to see some photos of the inside of the house and or any drawings you may have of the inside. If anyone has any more information on the house, or different information then what we have gathered, we would love to hear it.  You can reach us via email at thecainvestors@gmail.com
