Woodward Hall, also known as the Stone House, Earl Woodard House, and "Woodhill," is a historic home located in the town of Lake Luzerne in Warren County, New York. It was built in 1931–1932, and is a two-story, rectangular building, five bays wide and two bays deep, with Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival style design elements in a somewhat eclectic design. It has fieldstone walls and a cross-gable slate roof and sits on a poured concrete foundation. It has a small, two-bay garage attached to the main block. It was built for Earl Woodward (1891-1956), who reinvented Adirondack tourism in the Lake George region through the introduction of dude ranch style resorts during the 1920s.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
