P. Jackson & Son. It is also known as the Holloway House.","why_significant":"The house is significant for its association with William H. Woodruff, a prominent citizen who became the county's largest landowner and most successful farmer and also had iron industry interests. It is also an outstanding example of Queen Anne architecture in a rural setting of generally more modest homes, noted for its decorative brickwork, Eastlake porch and well preserved interior.","narrative":"Set on a high hill above the Hocking Valley east of Logan, this two-story brick house was built in 1892 by E. P. Jackson & Son for William H. Woodruff. Woodruff owned about 1,500 acres by his death in 1907, making him the county's largest landowner and its most successful farmer. He also served as president of the Logan Blast Furnace Company and as a county commissioner. The Queen Anne design stands out among the modest farmhouses of the area. Notable features include a southwest turret, an Eastlake style open frame porch, arched windows with stone lintels, and decorative brickwork on three sides, including woven patterns and the initials WHW. A brick smokehouse and a frame barn survive on the property. Inside, the house retains its plaster moldings, seven different mantels with imported tile, carved oak stairway, original hardware and sliding wood doors. The interior reflects the prosperity of the Woodruff family in the late nineteenth century.","period_of_significance":"1892","architect_builder":"E. P.
