The Golden House is one of the earliest built in Willmore City c.1886, and the oldest known remaining building in the City of Long Beach.
It is associated with the life of persons significant in the past having been built by William Widney and later owned by C.D. Paine, F.W. Stearns and Stephen Townsend.
This Carpenter Gothic cottage styled building is a particularly small-sized example of its style and may have been a "display" model, or built as a land sales office or depot prior to use as a residence. The cottage is of single-wall construction and is the last known example of this type of construction to have survived intact in the city.
Golden House dates back to the early Willmore City days, pre-Long Beach and is of an architectural style that was not often used in the area. It may have been the first building in the then-newly developing west side of the townsite of Willmore City. Its single-wall construction was common to the time and provides information on lifestyles in early Willmore City. Wall coverings and ceiling materials which are labelled "Steinway and Sons, New York" also give information about the early life of the citizens, as do the variety of wall coverings, paint colors, and floor coverings which exist in the building.
