What's Different About Mulhall
Mulhall's population peaked over a century ago and has stayed small since, which means most of the town's homes are older construction, not recently built. That gives red clay soil decades longer to work on these foundations compared to newer builds elsewhere in the county.
As a small town along a state highway rather than near a river bottom, Mulhall's drainage patterns tend to follow roadside ditches and farmland runoff, which a local contractor will factor into any grading or French drain recommendation.
Named for a Rodeo Family
The town takes its name from Zach Mulhall, father of Lucille Mulhall, widely considered rodeo's first official cowgirl to compete against men and win. It started as a Santa Fe railroad stop, and the town's old rail-era buildings are part of why its housing stock runs older on average than you'd find in a town built up more recently.
With population numbers this small, there usually isn't a dedicated local building inspector on staff full time, so permit and inspection timelines can run a little differently than in Guthrie proper. It's worth asking your contractor how that affects scheduling, especially if you're hoping to get repairs done before a specific date.
