Willcox, is a two-story, brick and limestone, "F"-shaped house in an Italianate-Georgian style. It measures {{cvt|160|ft}} in length and {{cvt|32|ft}} deep at the "waist." It has a slate roof, Doric order limestone cornice, open loggia porches, and a covered entrance porch supported by Doric order columns. The house was designed by architect Howard Van Doren Shaw (1869-1926). The property includes formal gardens.[3] Its former carriage house is no longer part of the main estate. The original tennis court is now also a separate property named "Outpost Hill". The Revolutionary encampment is marked by a flagpole in a circular stone monument at the north-western edge of the property. The inscription reads, "An outpost of George Washington's Army encamped here thro the winter of Valley Forge 1777-1778". The Camp-Woods mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] {{-}}GalleryReferences1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania}}2. ^The War of the Revolution in Radnor (1777-1778) by Francis James Dallett, revised 2014 by Phil Graham, published by Radnor Historical Society. 3. ^{{cite web| url = https://www.dot7.state.pa.us/ce/SelectWelcome.asp| title = National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania| publisher = CRGIS: Cultural Resources Geographic Information System| format = Searchable database}} Note: This includes {{cite web| url = {{NRHP-PA|H079285_01H.pdf}}| title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Camp-Woods| accessdate = 2012-01-11| author =Martin Avery Snyder| format = PDF| date= April 1983}} 8 : Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania|Georgian architecture in Pennsylvania|Italianate architecture in Pennsylvania|Houses completed in 1912|Houses in Delaware County, Pennsylvania|Howard Van Doren Shaw buildings|1912 establishments in Pennsylvania|National Register of Historic Places in Delaware County, Pennsylvania |
