This beautiful mansion was home to another Phillips (Phillips 66 Co) family member, Waite Phillips. In 1937 it was donated to the City of Tulsa for a museum. The building is much more ornate than the Gilcrease Museum that we saw yesterday. It sits on 23 acres and has beautifully landscaped formal gardens, complete with 2 water gardens, a rose garden, sculptures, and a tempietto (a small temple-like building). There is another branch of this museum downtown. We plan to visit it when we do the First Friday Art Walk tomorrow evening.
