The George is one of the most successfully executed examples of late nineteenth century residential architecture, and as such, is part of the National Register of Historic Places and Subsequent National Parks Service Evaluation. The property was originally commissioned in 1891 by George E. Goodman Jr., who was the son of one of Napa's most prominent businessmen, George Goodman Sr.

Known as the handsomest house in town, this famous residence has been re-imagined into a 9-room luxury boutique inn.
