Enduring and stately, 326 NW 16th Street is a Spanish-Mediterranean masterpiece where timeless craftsmanship meets historic grandeur—truly built to last. Designed by renowned Oklahoma City architect Harry Reynolds and constructed in 1929 by master builder Raymond Smiser, the residence embodies exceptional architectural pedigree.
Hand-painted wooden vigas span a full-width hallway, while the dramatic “Cathedral Room,” overlooked by a minstrel gallery, anchors the home with striking scale and presence. Leaded glass windows—each uniquely patterned—Moorish archways, and original ironwork along stairs and balconies reflect a level of artistry rarely preserved.
Rich in provenance, the home has been held by only four owners. Since 1985, the current owner has executed meticulous restorations and thoughtful enhancements, including a thoughtfully reconfigured kitchen that balances openness with defined spaces, a bar crafted from original cabinetry, an expanded primary suite with dual baths and closets, a renovated garage apartment for extended stays, and comprehensive mechanical upgrades. A significant restoration transformed the former Florida Room into a refined family den, complete with period-appropriate tile and custom starburst doors echoing the original dining room design.
The exterior is equally compelling, featuring cathedral windows, clover-shaped motifs, cast-stone columns, and verdigris-toned ironwork and lighting. Constructed with triple-layer clay block walls measuring approximately 18 inches thick and supported by hardwood floor joists, this is a residence of enduring substance and architectural distinction.
Situated within Heritage Hills, a nationally recognized preservation district just north of Midtown and Downtown, the location offers exceptional proximity to the city’s most vibrant districts. Surrounded by historic architecture and enduring character, it places the home at the very heart of Oklahoma City.
