Regarding Clinton–Hardy House. Excerpts from the National Register nomination:
Lee Clinton was born in 1875 on a ranch south of the Arkansas River in what is now West Tulsa. It was then Red Fork, Indian Territory. His father was white, his mother half Creek Indian. In 1896 he became a bookkeeper at the Tulsa Banking Company, the first bank in Tulsa, which then had a population of around 1,300.(That institution later merged into what is now the First National Bank of Tulsa.) In 1906 Clinton became vice president of the Bank of Commerce, which he helped organize with his brother-in-law, James H. McBirney. In 1916 he founded the Union National Bank of Tulsa and he remained in banking, and real estate, the rest of his life. …Photographed by Duane and Tracy Marsteller, April 9, 20252.

Clinton's involvement in real estate spread to development of a prestige sub-division to be located on a series of modest hills running along the east bank of the Arkansas a dozen blocks or so south of downtown Tulsa, but then on the city's outskirts. Childers Heights was platted in 1918. Clinton had [architect George] Winkler design his new house for the highest point on the bluffs.
