Henry Lassen House

Built in the Neoclassical style, the Henry Lassen House in El Reno, OK, holds a place on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands on South Hoff, a few blocks from the old road and from El Reno's cluster of restored Route 66 buildings. The records say little more about it, so it is best enjoyed as a short add-on to a walk through town.

What is Henry Lassen House?

This is a private residence recognized for its architecture. Neoclassical design borrows from ancient Greek and Roman buildings, and houses in this style usually aim for a formal, balanced front. The listing marks the Lassen House as one of the homes in El Reno considered worth preserving, alongside the Goff House a short distance away.

Visiting Henry Lassen House: tips

The house is only a short drive or walk from the old road. It is a private home, so view it from the street or public sidewalk and do not enter the grounds.

Pair it with the nearby Route 66 landmarks: the Jackson Conoco Service Station is about 0.4 miles away, and Avant's Cities Service Station and the El Reno Hotel are each about 0.5 miles away. Together they make a relaxed half-hour loop on foot through historic El Reno.
