Oft-Gordon House [DO09:1388-002] Listed 2010/03/17

The Oft-Gordon House, built for Eggert and Rosa Oft in 1910, is architecturally significant as the best example of a free-classical Queen Anne residence in the town of Bennington. In addition, the house is associated with Eggert Oft, who was instrumental in the commercial development of Bennington as the owner of Oft's Hall and other business and banking ventures. The Ofts' daughter, Nancy, married Roy Gordon, who later became a leader in Nebraska's mink industry and served as president of the Nebraska Mink Breeders Association.
