This two-story frame house was purchased by Aaron Drumright in 1920. Aaron Drumright came to this area in 1900 and farmed land adjacent to J. W. Fulkerson. When the Wheeler #1 oil well came in, in 1912 and began the Cushing Oil Field, Drumright and Fulkerson donated land to establish a town, which later became known as Drumright.
This is a two-story frame house with a hipped roof and wide eaves, constructed in 1920. Windows throughout are 6 over 6 double hung units. The front entrance facing East is located under a covered porch supported by four wooden columns, with an open porch on the second level. There is also a covered back porch. A one-story addition was added to the south side in 1957, after some tornado damage.
The house was placed on the National Registry in 1982. It is still used as a residence, however, it appears to be falling into disrepair compared to the photos in the 1982 listing.
