| Description |

J. H. Baxter of the Griffing Lumber Company built this residence
in 1906 for R. H. Woodworth (d. 1923). Wide verandas extend beyond
the impressive columned portico of the classical revival structure.
Woodworth, a business and civic leader, and his wife Mary (d. 1946)
hosted numerous social gatherings here in the early 20th century.
Since 1947, the house has been in the care of the Department Club
of Port Arthur.
Located in Woodworth Ave. at Lakeshore Dr.
