SSnorman1-e1538276293227It’s a home that’s seen a lot of Norman, Oklahoma, history, and after painstaking renovation, it’s going to make some Sooner fan a great potential second home, since it’s a quick walk from campus and all the game-day fun.

L.J. Edwards was one of the original homesteaders, arriving when it was still Norman Station in June 1890, a year after the Land Run of 1889 brought settlers to the town. Four years later, he built a beautiful Victorian home for his family and his first wife, Mary. Edwards served as the president of the chamber of commerce, president of the Norman school board, and chairman of the park board.

He was also responsible for selecting the slogan of the town — “The University City.”

In the years that followed became the place where things happened — including a meeting that ushered in the beginning of the University of Oklahoma.

“Original tile surrounds the fireplace in the front room where the OU Board of Regents met in 1890,” listing agent Debbie Bugg of Metro Brokers Of Oklahoma said.
