Camp-Woods, is a historic estate with associated buildings located at Villanova, Delaware County, Pennsylvania and built on a high spot which had been a 200-man outpost of George Washington's Army during the Valley Forge winter of 1777–78.[1] The house, built between 1910 and 1912 for banker James M. Willcox, is a two-story, brick and limestone, F-shaped house in an Italianate-Georgian style. It measures in length and deep at the "waist." It has a slate roof, Doric order limestone cornice, open loggia porches, and a covered entrance porch supported by Doric order columns. The house was designed by architect Howard Van Doren Shaw (1869-1926). The property includes formal gardens.[2] Its former carriage house is no longer part of the main estate. The original tennis court is now also a separate property named "Outpost Hill". The Revolutionary encampment is marked by a flagpole in a circular stone monument at the north-western edge of the property. The inscription reads, "An outpost of George Washington's Army encamped here thro the winter of Valley Forge 1777-1778".
The Camp-Woods mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
