 With accommodations for up to 175 guests, the Woodward House is the perfect setting for a wedding reception, a unique rehearsal dinner, or any number of special occasions. We would welcome the opportunity to host your most memorable occasions in our enchanting home. |
The house was started on Mrs. Woodward’s birthday and was built on a hill, the highest land in the area, with a view of downtown. One of the signatures of an Atlee B. Ayers home is the massive two-story wooden columns which is evident in the Woodward House. The wide semi-circular verandah fronts the double wide doors which open into the Reception Room, which leads to the double wide staircase and bay window on the landing. The Gold Room contains the gold leaf French Style furniture that won the Blue Ribbon at the 1904 St. Louis Exposition. The ceiling is painted with murals reminiscent of the castles of Europe. The formal reception room with oak paneling and tapestry hung walls, contains four floor to ceiling wooden columns which lead the eye to the beamed ceiling with the original paintings. The Library to the left of the formal parlor contains an impressive carved wooden fireplace and cherry wood library table that was made from a massive antique piano. There are two dining rooms, which are accented with the specially designed mahogany woodwork of the doorways, fireplace, huge buffet, and beautiful chandeliers. |
