Appraisal
This steward's house is an interesting structure, with influence from the Arts and Crafts style evident in its large chimneystacks, steep roofs, and red brick. The latter, which became popular in the late nineteenth century due to the increased mechanisation of production, is used to good effect here, with moulded and chamfered bricks used to decorative effect. It is one of several interesting demesne buildings at Woodlawn.
