Description

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "With perhaps the state's finest kitchen still just a little out of reach, Oklahoma's first lady will move her family into the governor's mansion Tuesday. Smartly clad in slacks, but refusing to be photographed because of them, Jeanette Edmondson showed a reporter through the historic old home on NE 23 into which she'll move her husband and three children. The kitchen won't be quite finished, although it undoubtly will be a culinary showpiece when completed, And a considerable amount of renovating the rest of the mansion also will have to be done after the Edmondson's arrive. "We'll be at it until Christmas," Mrs. Edmondson pessimistically forecast as the led a reporter on a tour of all three floors of the structure. The upper two floors of the mansion will be finished except for minor touches here and there. This is where the family will live................"The movers are coming Tuesday," Mrs. Edmondson said firmly. "I'd just better be ready." Since inauguration day, Gov. Edmondsonand his family have been living in a leased house in the northwest part of the city......The other is that the third-floor "ballroom" has been junked as such and has been turned into a huge playroom for the children, a boy and two girls ranging from 7 through 11, (photo tag: Finishing touches are put on the grand stairway in the governor's mansion.)"
