National Register Listing

Goff, William I. and Magdalen M., House

506 S. Evans, El Reno, OK

The Goff House is significant because it is the best local example in El Reno of residential architecture where the colonial Revival and Queen Anne styles of architecture are combined. Built at the turn-of-the-century, by W. I. Goff, the manager of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company of El Reno, the house continues to possess a high degree of architectural integrity.

Located on a large corner lot, the house is larger than most in the neighborhood and is clearly a landmark in this area of residential homes that surround the Rock Island Railroad, the traditional commercial center for the city of El Reno.
