Bolling Haxall House, also known as the Woman's Club, is a historic residential building located in Richmond, Virginia. It was built by Bolling Walker Haxall in 1858 and is a three-story Italian Villa style dwelling of sandstone-colored stucco, scored to imitate ashlar. It features a projecting central entrance on the front facade, a raised portico (with arched openings) supported by four fluted columns, and an elaborate double-bracketed, dentiled cornice. An auditorium was added in 1916, after the home's acquisition by the Woman's Club in 1900.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
