One of the finest Tudor Revival houses in the state, Castle Crest overlooks the primary intersection of Woodland Hills, a seventy-acre subdivision with large lots on rolling terrain developed in 1928 by the Scott brothers—Thomas, Charles, and Frank. Castle Crest’s semi-octagonal, stone-clad tower-like bay frames the entrance and pivots the house’s two wings. The irregular massing and variegated Flemish bond brick veneer mimic an English manor house. At the far left, a porte-cochere enclosed with glass connects to a 1977 addition. Inside the two-story house, a stair hall separates the public wing to the right and the family wing to the left. Originally owned by contractor I. W. Merrill, the house passed in 1941 to W. H. Holman, whose business interests included Jitney Jungle grocery stores and the McCarty-Holman wholesale grocery. The house remained in that family until 2006. Castle Crest’s formality contrasts with Smith’s more traditional half-timbered Tudor Revival houses at 173 Glenway Drive (1928) and 150 Woodland Drive (1929).
