City Directories and History: “Woodland” surrounded by beautiful old oaks and magnolia trees is one of the lovely homes depicting the charm and hospitality of the South in the late Colonial period. It was built in 1870 by Samuel Johnson, the architect-builder of several other homes in Winnsboro of this same classic style, for Captain W. G. Jordan. The stately columns with all their classical grace were hand carved as were the banisters of the lovely old Colonial stairway in the front hall.
In 1945 Mr. and Mrs. Ernest M. Crawford purchased the home and have restored the house to its old southern splendor. The beautiful lawn with the original picket fence surrounding it is being restored to the landscape plan. [Our Heritage Book]
