The Price House, also called Shin' en Kan, is one of Goff's most celebrated residences. In 1996 the house succumbed to fire, completely destroying the masterwork. The use of triangles is pervasive throughout the residence, forming the building blocks for the furniture, walls, and handrails. This door and fence were from the main entry into the compound, and illustrate the prevailing triangular motif.
