The Goodnow House is an historic 2-story stone house located at 2301 Claflin Road in Manhattan, Kansas, United States. It was built in 1857 in the Plains Vernancular style by Isaac Goodnow and his wife, Ellen. Isaac Goodnow was an abolitionist and co-founder of both Kansas State University and Manhattan.[1]
On February 24, 1971, the Goodnow House was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
Goodnow and his wife Ellen had no children. Hattie Parkerson, a niece whom they had adopted, inherited the house. After Hattie's death in 1940, the house passed to a friend, Mary Payne, who later donated it and many of the Goodnow's belongings to the Kansas Historical Society, a state agency which operates it today as the Goodnow House State Historic Site.
