Designed in 1823, Woodside is an excellent example of the Federal style hall, double parlor house plan. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house is constructed of coursed fieldstone and displays a high caliber of carved woodwork as shown in the many fine mantels, the beautifully carved staircase, and other woodwork throughout the house. Woodside is also of interest as a property which has never left the ownership of the Wilson family who built it.
