The Woodlawn School is a historic school building located near Mebane, Alamance County, North Carolina. It is based on a design by architects Barrett & Thomson and built in two stages in 1911-12 and 1913. It is a Queen Anne style frame building with a gable roof and belfry. The listing included one contributing building and two contributing structures (a ballfield and a wood shed) on 4.4 acres (1.8 ha). It was originally used as a school and community center and, after 1935, exclusively as a community center. A stage was added to one of the classrooms and the ballfield constructed in 1939, with Works Progress Administration funds.[2][3]
