Wood Lawn, Federal-Greek Revival plantation house in Mount Mourne, North Carolina.
The two-story residence contains eight rooms, each featuring a fireplace and mantle, connected through central hallways with detailed architectural elements.
Dr. George Washington Stinson, one of Davidson College's first trustees, constructed Wood Lawn around 1840 near the newly established educational institution.
The residence became a social center for Davidson College students who gathered there, as Dr. Stinson permitted square dancing despite local Presbyterian restrictions.
In 2003, the building underwent renovations to serve as the administrative center for Woodlawn School, receiving the new name Stinson Hall.
The house features a two-and-a-half-story staircase with a walnut spiral-turned handrail imported from Charleston, South Carolina in the 1840s.
