Woods Hill is an historic estate at 1501 Clay Street in Franklin, Virginia. The 17-acre (6.9 ha) estate is notable for its house, designed by architect Alan McCullough and built in 1951, and its landscaping, designed by Charles Freeman Gillette. The house is a two-story brick structure, built out of custom bricks laid in Old English Bond and mortared using rough edging mortar. The property includes a log cabin and old service station (established by the building owner's father) that were located on the rural parcel.[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
