Lincoln Terrace

Oklahoma City

Lincoln Terrace is a historic neighborhood situated on either side of N Lincoln Blvd south of the Capitol. The first homes in Lincoln Terrace were built in 1918, one year after the Capitol itself was completed. Lincoln Terrace boasts a wide variety of architecture, from classic American Colonial to Tudor and Italian revival styles. Most homes are large, two-story houses with spacious interiors, grand staircases, multiple fireplaces and an abundance of windows. Lincoln Terrace was designated as a historic preservation district in 1974 and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Association Information

Lincoln Terrace Neighborhood Association is responsible for organizing neighborhood events and projects as well as working with nearby neighborhoods on improvements and initiatives.

Historic Preservation

Lincoln Terrace falls within a historic preservation district, requiring a certificate of appropriateness for all work to the exterior of properties, in addition to any city permits.

Beautification Projects

Beautification of the neighborhood is paramount. The Beautification Committee has been working for several years to improve and landscape the N Lindsay Ave medians, aided not only by residents generously donating their time and money, but by the Oklahoma City Community Foundation by way of grants that have allowed the neighborhood association to plant dozens of trees.

Work continues as the next phases of beautification will hopefully include planting beds of year-round perennials and shrubs throughout the medians and park. Additionally, tree-planting programs to help increase the number of tree-lined streets in Lincoln Terrace are being planned.
