Woodlawn, also known as Woodlawn Plantation, is a historic home and farm complex located near Vernon Hill, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. It was built about 1815, and is a relatively small but unusual, two-part manor house. It consists of two 1 1/2-story main blocks connected by a hyphen, that are nearly identical in size, shape, and materials. The house is of heavy timber frame construction sheathed in weatherboard. The interior features Federal style decorative details. Also on the property the contributing early-19th century log smokehouse, and a family cemetery.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
