Goff Plaza Promoted As Clarksburg Fairyland Residence District

Twenty five years ago Clarksburg had grain fields and show grounds in East Main Street. Now the area is built with homes valued from five to fifty thousand dollars, with remaining lots priced eight to fifteen thousand dollars. Goff Plaza lies beyond East Main Street, free from smoke and noise, yet accessible by two streetcar lines. It offers paved streets, sidewalks, underground utilities, terraced lots, and extensive lighting, touted as the state’s finest and most advanced residential area.
