In 1904 renowned architect Atlee B. Ayres designed this house for the family of May Bock and David J. Woodward, a prominent business man and contractor. May was instrumental in designing the house, working closely with Ayres on the plans. David Woodward was the builder. May sold the house to the Women's Club of San Antonio in 1926 after the death of her husband. The house is an imposing example of Classical Revival style architecture.
