Goodwillie–Allen House, American Craftsman house in Bend, United States.
The Goodwillie–Allen House is a one-and-one-half-story American Craftsman bungalow in Bend, built in 1904 with locally produced lumber and native stone. Its main section measures 28 by 54 feet, with a rear extension and a west porch. A low-pitch hip roof with dormers, overhanging eaves on exposed rafters, and leaded-glass windows in a diamond-obelisk pattern define the facades.
The residence was built in 1904 by Arthur Goodwillie, who later became Bend's first mayor. It stands as the oldest structure still within the city's boundaries.
The house is commonly called the Goodwillie-Allen-Rademacher House, naming its three principal owners: mayor Arthur Goodwillie, lumber manager Herbert Allen and physician Clyde Rademacher, a founder of the Bend Memorial Clinic. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 under the shorter name Goodwillie-Allen House.
The house has been moved and renovated, and now serves different purposes including an art gallery and café. It is worth checking ahead about current uses and when the space is open to visitors.
The house was moved about 50 feet south in 1993 to save it from demolition for a parking lot, shifted onto an adjacent lot without damage. Its front porch and side pergola are bordered by walls and columns of lava stone, and the three front windows carry leaded glass in a diamond-obelisk pattern.
