Trivia answer: Tyler’s first property ever to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places was the Goodman-LeGrand Home, located on North Broadway Avenue.
The home is now known as the Goodman Museum, and it originally began as a one-story, four-room house constructed by Samuel Smith in 1859. The home is now named for the family of its third owner, Dr. W.J. Goodman. The family lived in the home for more than 70 years. The residence underwent several additions and renovations to give it a Classical Revival look by the 1920s, and the mansion has remained largely unchanged since. The museum is open for public tours, with many of the Goodman family’s antique furnishings on display.
