L. S. Good House, Neoclassical residence in Wheeling, United States.
The L. S. Good House is a three-story brick building with classical columns and sandstone foundations in Wheeling. Its facade displays fluted wooden pillars and an Ionic colonnade on the upper level that reflect neoclassical design principles.
The building was constructed in 1904 for a merchant who changed his name from Lippmann Gut to Good after immigrating from Germany. It gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The house shows how immigrants built business empires in their new communities and changed their names to fit in. Walking past it today, you see a symbol of those early success stories that shaped American towns.
The building now houses a winery that welcomes visitors while preserving its original architecture. You can explore the classical features both inside and from the street when you visit.
When the owner died in 1927, every shop in Wheeling closed as a mark of respect for his importance to the city. His influence showed how deeply immigrants shaped the local economy and community.
