Woodlawn is a historic home located near Oilville, Goochland County, Virginia. It is dated to the late 18th century, and is a two-story, five-bay brick structure with 12 fireplaces in the Federal style.[3] It has a small porch supported on four evenly spaced square columns with Ionic order capitals added around 1810. The house still has much of its original glass and original woodwork, and a formal boxwood garden with some of the box trees well over a century old.[3] A one-story frame kitchen and a long frame porch were both added in 1937.[4]
This is the oldest of five historic houses in Virginia that are named "Woodlawn".[5] Others can be found listed under Woodlawn, Virginia.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1]
