The White House

The White House is a house, now divided into two dwellings, dating from around 1770. It was refronted and had a bay added to the right around 1800, and it was subdivided in 1980. The building features staggered Flemish bond brick with stone storey bands and a gabled concrete tile roof, with brick end and ridge stacks. It has a central-staircase plan originally consisting of five units, which was extended to a six-unit plan. The structure stands three storeys high with an attic and has a symmetrical range of five windows, extended to six.

The principal doorway is located under a keyed stone archway set beneath stone steps, with wrought-iron balustrades. This doorway features a mid-19th century six-panelled door, four of which are glazed, topped with a fanlight. Above this, there is a six-pane sash window with a gauged brick flat arch. The central bay is flanked by two-storey canted bay windows, which have flat brick arches over tripartite sashes and moulded stone cornices. To the left, there is a bay with a lean-to roof that has two round windows with raised stone architraves, while a similar arrangement is found in the bay to the right, which features a late 19th century four-panelled door, two of which are glazed. The bay added around 1800 to the far right includes a two-storey canted bay window with tripartite sashes and a moulded stone cornice. The roof has three hipped dormers, and there is a 20th-century extension to the left. The rear wall is rendered and has a later 18th-century jettied first floor.

Inside, there are late 18th and 19th century panelled doors. The early 19th century fireplace has a reeded architrave and paterae to the left, while there are late 18th century fireplaces on both sides, with the right one featuring fluted Ionic engaged columns and a fretted frieze. The roof structure is a butt-purlin type. The left dwelling, No. 2, has similar fireplaces and doors, a late 18th century linen cupboard, and an open fireplace in the basement with an arched and keyed architrave and spit racks. The house was owned by John Harrison, who served as Mayor of Woodstock three times starting in 1817.
