The Home
The Southard House is a historic home was designed and built in 1912 by George Franklin Southard and his wife Lilla Hughes Southard. Following the Southard's deaths the historic structure became home to several families and numerous children, some of whom still live and work in Enid. By the mid-1990s the house had fallen into disrepair and was left empty, deteriorating rapidly.
In 1998 the home was saved by Marty Tydings, who recognized the home's historical significance and potential. Over the course of several years Marty undertook a complete restoration of the home, with loving attention to the quality and historical accuracy of every detail.
In June of 2012, the Neal's, immediately fell in love with the house, the Southard family, and the role the Southards and their grand home have played over the years in the development and continued growth of Enid. Over the next year they completed preparations to open Southard House Bed & Breakfast as the finest lodging experience in northwest Oklahoma.
Because James and Tammy have utilized the skills, gifts, and abilities they possess together, the Southard House Bed and Breakfast Inn has become the most luxurious overnight accommodations available in Northwest Oklahoma. The innkeepers hope you will pay them a visit and see for yourself!
