Stone Lion Inn - Guthrie, Oklahoma
The Houghton home was built in 1906 by T. E. Houghton,
a successful merchant who wanted to build a larger home for his
expanding family. They lived in the house for approximately two decades
with their eleven children. They had twelve children, however, one of

which back in the day, contained opium. Even after all these years, it is thought that she still roams this house.
