For more than three decades, The Woodward has been a celebrated bed and breakfast in Historic Holliday Park, welcoming guests, weddings, business travelers, and retreats. Honored by Midwest Living and a filming location for HGTV, CBS, and NBC. Now offered as a complete collection, it encompasses three fully furnished historic homes totaling more than 14,600 square feet, plus four additional parcels. The Woodward: Built in 1923 for Chester and Frederica Woodward and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, known as “Topeka’s Most Artistic Home,” this 8,646-square-foot Gothic English Tudor estate features the extraordinary Chester Woodward Library. Measuring 26 by 52 feet across two-and-a-half stories, it draws inspiration from Sir Walter Scott’s library at Abbotsford. Hand-hewn timbers and stone imported from England surround soaring stained glass, an upper gallery, a carved stone fireplace, and Mr. Woodward’s original rare-book safe. Its 6,000-volume collection ranked among Kansas’s prominent private libraries. Highlights include an English Brown Oak front door with hand-hammered ironwork, Tudor rose chandeliers, original dining furnishings, and Frederica’s hand-tiled fireplace honoring Chisholm Trail pioneer families. The Woodward Max: A 3,502-square-foot Queen Anne-style home with a wraparound porch, brick piers, and fish-scale shingles. A guest inn since 2007, it offers four bedrooms, four baths, and spaces for intimate gatherings. The Woodward Executive: This 2,507-square-foot historic home has accommodated executive and extended stays, with flexibility for guests, family, or staff. Four additional parcels provide opportunities for a wedding chapel, gardens, recreation, housing, or event space, subject to approvals. The Woodward Collection offers a rare opportunity to continue a beloved lodging and events legacy or establish a remarkable private estate or family compound.
