Woodlawn Farm, sometimes known as the Wood Homestead, is located on Mount Orange Road, a short distance north of Slate Hill, New York, United States.

[2] The center and east sections are smaller two-by-two-bay two-story buildings with rolled asphalt roofs, progressively lower in height.

[2] Inside, the main block has a side-hall, double-parlor plan, suggesting it was built as the Federal style was becoming popular in the late 18th century.

Some of the decorative touches, such as woodwork and door paneling, are in keeping with the Greek Revival era and an extensive renovation around that time.

[2] Local lore dates the building's center block to 1765, when Benjamin Whitaker owned what was then a 129-acre (52 ha) property but the hand-hewn timbers visible in the basement, and the finishes used are not consistent with that period.

[2] Like his predecessors, Wood would own the house for over two decades, and distinguish himself in local politics as a supervisor, a position he held for 14 years.

He built a gristmill, ice house and the Springbrook Hat Factory, using wild teasel from his fields to card the wool.

She subdivided it into 18 lots, reducing the family plot to today's 20 acres (8.1 ha) around the house and fronting on the road.

He chaired the Department of Medicine at Middletown's Horton Memorial Hospital for 22 years, serving for part of that time as chief of staff, while maintaining his local practice.

The center block's two-by-two-bay shape is common among older houses in Orange County built by settlers of English descent, especially in the Town of Montgomery.

The two separate blocks added on and heavily modified in later eras represent a distinctive record of the changes in architectural taste among the region's prosperous landowners.
