Second Medical director of Mare Island.
A two-story house was completed in 1903 at rear of main hospital building (H-1), and Dr. Woods was first occupant. It consisted of two stories, a basement, with towers, circular bays, gables and sloping roofs. It had a broad plaza extending along the front and sides with a porte-cochere at end and gabled over the entrances with an ornamental carved wood panel. The reception room is fitted up in Moorish style and attracts the eye for its uniqueness. Cost of the house was around $15,000, with more added for laying sewers and beautifying the grounds. Surgeon-General John Mills Browne encouraged this quarters to be built for occupancy of one in charge of the hospital.
An empty lot sits along Club Drive behind H-1 where this house once stood. It is not currently known why the house was demolished, but disappears from Mare Island maps around 1960.
