This Richardsonian Romanesque-inspired home was built for Henry Lindsay Woodruff (1851-1921), next door to his brother Ernest Woodruff’s former home. It is one of two homes in the High Uptown Historic District associated with Mr. Woodruff. Henry was a prominent businessman in his own right, serving as the president and general manager of Empire Mills for thirty-three years. One of his sons, George Cecil “Kid” Woodruff, Sr. (1888-1968), was the coach for the University of Georgia football team from 1923-1927 and was considered instrumental in bringing the program to national prominence.
