The Holmberg House was built as a private residence in 1914 by Professor Fredrik Holmberg and his wife, Signey.  Professor Holmberg was the first Dean of the University of Oklahoma’s College of Fine Arts.  Dean Holmberg strongly believed that fine arts education was needed, not only at the University of Oklahoma, but throughout Oklahoma.  Dean Holmberg was honored in 1938 when the Fine Arts Building at the University of Oklahoma was renamed as Holmberg Hall.  Holmberg Hall still stands on the OU campus and is within easy walking distance of Holmberg House.

The Holmberg family lived in the craftsman-style residence until the early 1940s when the residence was purchased by Leota and Sam Hale.  The Hale family lived in the house until 1993 when the residence was bought and renovated by Richard Divelbis and his wife, Jo Meacham, as a bed and breakfast.  The Holmberg House was featured in Country Inns Bed & Breakfast Magazine in August 1996, as well as in The Official Guide to American Historic Inns.  Since its establishment, the Holmberg House Bed & Breakfast has been a mainstay on the corner of Boyd and DeBarr, allowing its welcoming gardens and distinctive architecture to host many travelers in its effortless elegance of simplicity of form, local natural materials, visibility of handicraft and workmanship.
