NRP Nomination FormThe 2 1/2-story brick house faces east on San Pedro Avenue at West French Place just north of historic San Pedro Springs and downtown San Antonio. The large rectangular shaped building is typical of the residential architectural designs of Atlee B. Ayres with four colossal Corinthian columns dominating the principal facade. Four columns across the facade support a curved flat-roofed portico; two on the south support a flat-roofed porte cochere leading to a parking area at the rear of the property. The house is covered in a large side gabled roof with intersecting front, side and rear gables of varying heights.
The Woman's Club of San Antonio acquired the house in 1926 following the death of David Woodward. It has served as the clubhouse and center of activity for this community organization for almost seventy years."
