398 Pearl Street at Crockett.
This 11-story building has a neo-gothic architectural design that was built in 1927. There is a telecommunications antenna atop the roof of the building.

The Goodhue Building reflects the exuberance of
1920s oil wealth. Forrest Goodhue and Gussie Goodhue
Solari formed the Goodhue Company and built this
handsome structure which originally boasted 190 offices.
Its stunning lobby, featured on the front cover, includes
iron and solid brass trim and an extensive use of marble,
natural white oak and walnut woodwork. The building
was designed by Tisdale and Stone of Nashville, Tennessee.
Penthouse buttresses and Mediterranean balcony
ledges contribute to the building’s distinctive features.
The Goodhues were early Beaumont entrepreneurs.
They were responsible for several downtown buildings
including the Crosby Opera House and the Goodhue
Opera House.

In 2004-2005, Joe Penland, Jr. completed extensive
renovations to the Goodhue Building including improvements
to the exterior and the lobby.

The Goodhue Building contributes to the historical
significance of Beaumont’s Commercial Historic District,
listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
