Once the home of Tulsa philanthropist, the historic Skelly Mansion is becoming the new home of the University of Tulsa President. TU expects to close on the home in a few weeks. The 21st and Madison home is named for its first resident, famed Tulsa oilman William G. Skelly.
Skelly had a close relationship with the University. The football field is named in his honor, as well as this radio station, KWGS in 1947. The radio station is owned by the University of Tulsa.
