Woodward Hall represents an adventurous and eclectic foray into stylistic trends of the early 20th century--incorporating elements of the Jacobethan, Arts & Crafts and Chateauesque styles. Woodward Hall's progressive architecture stands in contrast to the more conservative Neo Georgian Bridgewater Normal buildings of the mid 1920s. Possessing an H-shaped plan (230' by 59'),it is constructed of red brick with Deer Island granite underpinnings and Vermont marble trim. Its planar wall surface features paired bays along the side walls. It rises 3 1/2 stories from a basement to a distinctive chateauesque roof. Its foundation is of cement concrete which required 20 carloads of crushed stone and about 1200 yeards of sand besides the concrete. Particularly noteworthy is the main facade with Jacobethan gabled bays which flank a recessed, segmental arched entrance. Along the entrance is an English Arts and Crafts style multi-pane window which spans 2 stories. To the rear of Woodward Hall is a similarly rendered maintenance building.
