Frank Phillips, an ambitious barber-turned-bond salesman from Creston, Iowa, visited Bartlesville in 1903 to assess business possibilities in the oil fields. He returned permanently two years later with his wife, Jane, and young son, John. After a series of failures that nearly bankrupted him, he hit a string of eighty-one straight successful oil wells. By 1909, he had completed construction of the Frank Phillips home. Until his death in 1950, the home was an entertainment center for family, friends and the entire community. The home is a 26-room Neo-Classical mansion which contains original furnishings and accessories, including a varied, well-documented, quite sizable art collection. In 1973, the home was deeded to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Phillips' granddaughter, Betty Irwin. It was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1975.

Nellie Johnstone #927 adopted the Frank Phillips home as a P&R project in 2009.
