Stone carving of the face of Pan, a part of a drainage system of the Marland Mansion in Ponca City, Oklahoma, USA.
E W Marland, an oilman, philanthropist, U. S. congressman and 10th governor of Oklahoma, began building this mansion in 1925 and it was finished in 1928. Built of stone by John Duncan Forsyth, an Englishman, Marland admired the Davanzat Palace in Florence, Italy ,which inspired this home. It contains 48,000 square feet, 4 floors, an elevator, 12 bathrooms, three kitchens, a ballroom and 7 fireplaces. E. W. Marland eventually lost control of his company, Marland Oil Company, and only lived in the mansion for a few years. Shown is part of the drainage system of the mansion, the head of Pan with a water spout coming from his mouth into a well.
