When his current home was destroyed by a mysterious fire, Woolworth immediately went to work on building Winfield Hall, the plans for which were already drawn.

[2] After the Woolworths moved on, the house sat empty for years, and was purchased in 1929 by the wife of Richard S. Reynolds, of the R.S.

In 1945 work began to convert one two-story and basement structure into a research laboratory, corporate library and a 150-person auditorium.

Other people have reported hearing organ music[8] playing on its own, while detailed descriptions of seeing what appears to be the ghost of a young woman "haunting" the gardens have also been noted.

The estate was the setting for the promotional commercial of the professional wrestling video game, WWE 2K20, which depicted a cocktail party scene[9] featuring various current and legendary WWE wrestlers, including the game's cover stars, Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch.
