β¨JUST LISTED | BRUCE GOFF'S HOWARD JONES HOUSE | BARTLESVILLEβ¨
Designed in 1960 as a direct commission by Bruce Goff β one of the most significant American architects of the 20th century, and the only architect Frank Lloyd Wright profiled in Life magazine as among the few he considered creative β the Howard and Lucile Jones House is one of fewer than a handful of verified Goff original commissions remaining in Northeast Oklahoma, documented in the published canon with original drawings archived at the Art Institute of Chicago, which mounted the first major Goff retrospective in more than thirty years in late 2025.
Two doors down from the Russell Collins House, forming the only known paired-and-preserved Goff commissions on a single Oklahoma street, the Jones House is preserved substantially as drawn, with a small, museum-grade set of commissioned pieces conveying with the sale.
A double-height octagonal great room anchored by a four-sided brick fireplace tower rising through the full section of the house; twin cantilevered staircases flanking the tower, ascending to upstairs bedrooms that overlook a sunken living pit; a continuous floor of irregular polychrome stone β Goff's own composition in marble β running uninterrupted through the lower level and echoed beyond the walls of the home in the screened atrium porch and adjacent carport, dissolving the boundary between inside and out.
Clerestory glazing. Angular window forms. Original accordion blinds on interior dividers and closets. Signature, original geometric pendant lighting throughout. Original kitchen configuration, millwork, cabinetry, and built-ins substantially preserved. Select rafters and custom millwork recently restored at architectural grade. These are not approximations of the original design. They are the original design.
In 2026 the house received a full envelope overhaul executed to preservation standard β fully re-roofed, additional copper guttering; saw-cut, wet-set copper flashings at roof, chimney, and ground-level siding transition; powder-coated copper railing on the upper walkway; copper capping on the exterior catwalk. All to accompany prior upgrades including; Electrical wiring updated. Water heater converted to electric. Additional insulation. Sprinkler system with new controller.
Three pieces commissioned for this house convey with it and are not reproducible elsewhere: a braided rug woven from the home's original wall-to-wall carpeting, the custom glass diamond-form table built to fit the sunken living area, and an upstairs headboard crafted to match the home's original design aesthetic.
A fully screened atrium porch opens to a formal reflecting pond and stone terrace β the house's silhouette mirrored in its still water framed by a mature canopy of trees.
For the buyer who has been looking for a Goff house: this is it. For the buyer who simply wants to live beautifully, privately, and thoughtfully in a home unlike anything else on the market: you have found what you've been looking for. Private showings by appointment. Verification of capacity to purchase required before appointment confirmation.
