The **Goodnight House**, at 201 S. Main St. in [Franklin, Kentucky](/source/Franklin,_Kentucky), was built in 1893. It was listed on the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 1977.[1] Designed by the [McDonald Brothers](/source/McDonald_Brothers_(architects)), it is [Late Victorian](/source/Late_Victorian_architecture) in style.[2] It has also been known as the **Judge Isaac Herschel Goodnight & Mrs. Ella Hoy Goodnight House** and was home of [Isaac Herschel Goodnight](/source/Isaac_Herschel_Goodnight), who served three terms in the [United States House of Representatives](/source/United_States_House_of_Representatives) from 1889 to 1895. After that, he returned to his law practice in Franklin, and later became judge of Kentucky's 7th Circuit Court District.[2]

The home is located on the southeast corner of S. Main St. and E. Madison St. The next building to the south is the [Goodnight Memorial Library](/source/Goodnight_Memorial_Library). Across E. Madison St. begins the National Register-listed [Franklin Downtown Commercial District](/source/Franklin_Downtown_Commercial_District).

The Goodnight House is used by the Franklin Simpson Chamber of Commerce. In December 2017 the chamber held a Christmas Open House event at the house.[3]
