Goodman.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is Napa's clearest and most completely detailed example of Second Empire architecture and one of the half-dozen most significant mid-Victorian residences in the city. It is also one of the few substantially unaltered houses of its period and an early example of the homes built by Napa's wealthiest residents.","narrative":"Built in 1873 at 1120 Oak Street in Napa, this two-and-a-half-story wood-frame mansion shows the Second Empire style through its concave mansard roof, hooded dormers, bracketed cornice, rounded-top windows, bay windows and a classically detailed entrance portico. San Francisco architects McDougall and Marquis designed it for George E. Goodman, who arrived in Napa in 1855, opened a general store, helped organize the town's first bank, and served as county treasurer. The house cost $25,000, making it one of the most expensive built in Napa up to that time. It was listed because it is Napa's largest and most fully detailed Second Empire example and one of the few early houses to remain substantially unaltered. The interior was converted to apartments between 1926 and 1941 and the original grounds have been divided, but the exterior retains a high level of integrity and reflects the prosperity of Napa's Victorian-era elite.","period_of_significance":"1873","architect_builder":"McDougall and Marquis","architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Second Empire","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Converted to apartments between 1926 and 1941; the interior was heavily rearranged, while the exterior remains largely unaltered.
