Oaklawn, Greek Revival residence in Huntsville, United States.
The Oaklawn building features a five-bay main block with two wings, four Doric columns supporting a central portico, and deep cornices on flat roofs.
Constructed in 1844 by John Robinson, a revenue commissioner in Madison County, the house served as Union Army officers' quarters during the Civil War.
The residence exemplifies Federal architecture trends of the mid-19th century through its symmetrical design, classical elements, and period-specific construction methods.
The interior layout consists of a central hall on both floors with paired rooms on each side, plus extensions added in the 1920s and 1940s.
The property transformed into an army camp and hospital during the Spanish-American War before undergoing restoration by the Dilworth family in 1919.
