About this property

Harwelden is a historical building, also known as Harwelden Mansion, and is an English Tudor-styled mansion with Collegiate Gothic elements in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States, that is an Event Center and Bed and Breakfast.

Boston Avenue on the west, and E. 21st and 24th Sts. on the north, which is an area known for Tudor Revival as well as Colonial Revival architectural styles.
