In addition to his contributions to the city's infrastructure, Overholser also had a significant impact on its cultural scene. In 1903, he built the Overholser Opera House on Grand Avenue, a significant investment at the time. He also established the Overholser Theater, further enriching the city's cultural offerings.

The Overholser Mansion: A Historic Landmark

One of the most visible legacies of the Overholser family is the prominent mansion in Oklahoma City. This 20-room, brick-and-stone Victorian mansion, located in Heritage Hills, was built in 1903. After passing through the family, it was transferred to David Perry, the husband of Overholser's daughter, following her death. In the 1970s, the mansion was donated to the state and is now maintained as a historic house museum by Preservation Oklahoma, in agreement with the Oklahoma Historical Society.
