It is associated first with Arthur L. Goodwillie (1904-1907), Bend’s first mayor, a city founder and a businessman associated with platting and developing the town; secondly, with Herbert E. Allen (1908-1929), an executive at the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company and a civic and community leader; and, finally, with Dr. Clyde J. Rademacher, M. D. (1937 – 1983), a founder of Bend Memorial Clinic. It is the oldest residence in Bend. In the early 1990s it was nearly demolished to make way for parking within a plaza development. Today, it is well-preserved and maintained, owned by the City of Bend, operated as an art gallery by the regional arts organization, and the centerpiece of that plaza. In 2006, in preparing this nomination, it was discovered that it had been Goodwillie’s home while he lived in Bend. It had been known as the Allen-Rademacher House since 1993, but is now known as the Goodwillie-Allen-Rademacher House. Property History. The property the house was built on is in the original townsite, Plat of Bend, filed by A. M. Drake, President, and A. L. Goodwillie, Secretary, of the Pilot Butte Development Company (P.B.D. Co.). Specifically, it included two lots in Block 3: Lot 5 and a portion of Lot 6. On October 10, 1904, Goodwillie purchased Lot 5 from the P.B.D. Co. As the Secretary of the company, he most likely was building or had completed the structure at this time. The December 23, 1904, Bend Bulletin declared “Goodwillie Winner,” as he won the race for Mayor by a large margin, 86 to 28. According to the newspaper: “After the result of the ballot had become known the Bend Cornet Band got itself together and marched to the Goodwillie bungalow and serenaded the victorious
