444 East Market. Former home to Leonard Goodall. Inventor of the rotary powered mower. According to Wayne Swisher our expert, more than 5,000,000 mowers are sold each year in the world. And the first one came from Warrensburg, Missouri. On May 11, 1929, he married Eula Johnson, and they soon built a small two-bedroom bungalow at 444 East Market, a home they occupied until his death in 1971. The basement of that house became Goodall's first workshop, and the Goodall Corporation buildings were later built in the back yard and on a vacant lot next door.
