The Historic Mattie Beal Home, a 14-room, 2-story residence in Neoclassical Greek Revival style with Baroque ornamentation
and Mediterranean roof, was built 1907-1910 by Charles Warren and Mattie Beal Payne.
In the land lottery of 1901
the second name drawn was Martha “Mattie” Helen Beal, a young telephone operator from Wichita, Kansas.
She chose a 160-acre tract near the southern edge of the Lawton town site and eventually divided her acreage into affordable lots.
Mattie donated land for Lawton's Lincoln School, a church, and two city parks, all located in the Beal Addition.
In 1923 the Paynes simplified the exterior elements and renovated the Home to its current Art Deco style.
The Paynes lived here nearly 30 years. The Home had several owners before it was acquired by the Lawton Heritage Association in 1974.
