Woodlawn, Greek Revival villa in Austin, United States.
The two-story mansion features tall white columns, symmetrical windows, and a grand pediment, following architectural principles of the 1850s Greek Revival style.
Texas State Comptroller James Shaw commissioned builder Abner H. Cook to construct Woodlawn in 1853, later selling it to Governor Elisha M. Pease in 1857.
The residence received numerous distinguished guests throughout its history, including General George Custer, Sam Houston, and the sculptor Elisabet Ney.
The mansion maintains two separate entrances, with one situated on Niles Road and another on Northumberland Road where visitors locate the main mailbox.
After four generations of the Pease family, Governor Allan Shivers purchased the property in 1957, exactly one century after the initial Pease acquisition.
