The Goode Mansion is another mansion in Fairfax which was built on Native American land as a result of oil money. Presumably built in the 1920s when the oil and gas industry took off creating boom towns all over whose populations skyrocketed and then dropped drastically after the oil fell. The property includes the stately home, a two-story garage with butler quarters on the second floor, a large barn that has since gone, and a small second home made of wood. After serving its purpose as a home it was then turned into a headstart sometime in the ’80s or ’90s. It is an Osage Indian family home, the only way to restore or sell it requires every partial owner to agree on the final decision making it very unlikely anything will be done with it.

My family lived in that house in 1985 so sad to see it in this shape.
Bill, I would love to hear some stories of the time your family lived in the house and any history you can give to update the article to be more accurate and interesting. Would you be able to send me an email board@abandonedatlas.com
So sad to see these beautiful homes crumbling! After reading Killers of the Flower Moon I’m surprised there are any Osage left! What a gut wrenching story. What kind of help is needed to repair these homes?
This was a very beautiful home. The Goode Family are good people. It would be nice to have it repaired.
