Senator and Mrs. Underwood... I think! If I get this wrong, my mom will be upset, as she worked at Woodlawn for over 20 years.

Woodlawn is a beautiful mansion. Too bad the National Historical Trust has let the trees grow up in the meadow to obscure a view of the mansion from Richmond Hwy. It's a missed opportunity to promote more folks to see and visit it.
