The B.W. McLean House and Office, located at 123 E. "A" Street is a two-story frame dwelling with clapboard siding. It is considered Folk Victorian architecture and has a hip roof. It was built for Mrs. Maude McLean, in 1913, by her father and brother, Isaac and Jim Gentis.
Dr. McLean was one of the first doctors in Jenks and one of its earliest settlers. On the first floor of the home is a small office which served as a medical examination room, with a small waiting room.
The home has three bedrooms upstairs, with three brick chimneys. There are pine floors throughout. When the home was built, there were no water or electrical facilities, however, City water and electric was available by the early 1920s and was installed in the home. The original house was built with natural gas for gas lighting and the cook stove, and some heating stoves.
In 1986, after some years of deteriorating, the home was restored and central heat and air were installed. The house and doctor's office is currently set-up as it was in the early days and tours are given. The phone numbers to call are: 918-446-2745 or 918-299-8634.
