Waldomore is now the repository for materials relating to the state's culture and history as well as the books and papers of notorious UFO writer Gray Barker.

The Waldomore was constructed in late 1839 for Waldo P. Goff, a prominent lawyer and politician on part of a 4-acre (16,000 m2) tract that extended from Pike Street to Elk Creek.

Four stately Ionic columns, their pristine white a captivating contrast to the warm hues of the brick, anchor a grand portico, the heart of the facade.

Large windows with black shutters flank the portico, like watchful eyes peering out, while a wrought-iron balcony on the second floor whispers tales of bygone eras.

Waldo Goff was a member of the Virginia State Senate from 1833 to 1837, and thereafter held numerous local minor offices including that of sheriff of Harrison County in 1851.
