Notes
  • Significance: The principal residence of the owner of a major Birmingham producer of foundry iron, the estate is the most fully realized and intact example of estate architecture and landscape architecture in the District. / The Woodward Estate consists of a large Italian Revival style stucco residence, guest house, servants buildings, gardens, terraces and drives set on a 36-acre knoll atop Red Mountain overlooking both Jones Valley to the north (in which the city of Birmingham lies) and Shades Valley to the south. The residence, designed by California architect Reginald Johnson contains 22 rooms. Boston landscape architect George Miller completed site planning for the estate and drives in 1914. World War I delayed construction as red ores located beneath the estate were mined for wartime use.
