Woodlawn, Greek Revival villa in Austin, United States.

Woodlawn is a Greek Revival mansion at 30.2871° -97.7581° in Austin, built by master builder Abner H. Cook, who also designed the Texas Governor's Mansion. The house faces Pease Road but has two separate entrances, one off Niles Road and one off Northumberland Road, where the mailbox is located. It sits at the centre of the Old West Austin Historic District.

Comptroller James Shaw had master builder Abner H. Cook, designer of the Texas Governor's Mansion, build the house on a 365-acre site; it was finished in 1853. After his wife and child died, Shaw sold the estate in 1857 to Governor Elisha M. Pease, who named it Woodlawn and laid out the surrounding Enfield neighborhood. Four generations of Peases lived here until 1957, when Niles Graham sold the house and three acres to outgoing governor Allan Shivers.

The Peases named the estate Woodlawn, and four generations of the family lived there until 1957. Visitors to the house over the years included Sam Houston, General George Custer, sculptor Elisabet Ney, Will Rogers and costume designer Edith Head.

The property can be reached from two different road sides, with one entrance along Niles Road and another along Northumberland Road. Knowing these access points in advance helps visitors approach from the direction that works best for their route.

Woodlawn's grounds once covered 365 acres; Elisha Pease developed most of the surrounding land into today's Enfield neighbourhood, leaving the house on three acres. The estate now anchors the Old West Austin Historic District, which covers mostly land the Pease family formerly owned.
