We’re proud to present a sale featuring personal property belonging to the late photographer Bob McCormack and his late wife, Betty. Mr. McCormack is known for award-winning photography chronicling not only state and national history, but also the lives of thousands of Tulsa area families. 

 

In 1969, Mr. and Mrs. McCormack purchased the historic Tulsa mansion built by oilman Robert McFarlin in 1918. The beautiful mansion at 1610 South Carson, now on the National Register of Historic Places, was the family’s home, but also the site of hundreds of portraits of celebrities and citizens, brides and businesspeople, families and friends. The McCormacks’ children, Nancy and John, lived and worked in the mansion for a time as well, John joining his father in their photography business. John will continue his photography business in a location nearby.

 

Because of the high interest and attendance anticipated, Silvey Estate Sales will restrict the number of shoppers allowed in the home at a given time. Armed security will be on the premises.
