An Italian Renaissance villa, the Philbrook was designed in 1926 by Kansas City architect Edward Buehler Delk. Construction on the mansion was begun the same year by the John Long Company of Kansas City and completed in 1927. Originally called “Villa Philbrook”, the home featured 72 rooms on 23 acres (93,000 m²) of grounds. The expansive grounds contain elaborate gardens inspired by Villa Lante, an Italian country estate north of Rome designed by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola in 1566. In 1938 the Villa Philbrook and surrounding gardens were given to the city of Tulsa by Waite Phillips in hopes that the estate would be used for art and cultural purposes. The immense house, with its spacious rooms, wide corridors and great halls, was a natural home for a museum and, due to its steel and concrete framework, minimal remodeling was required to transform the Villa into an art museum. In 1939 Villa Philbrook was opened to the public as The Philbrook Museum of Art.

Great photo and impressive villa - except for the dead grass, like what's up with that. A place like this needs a lush beautifully green and well manicured lawn.
