Beechwood was built in 1853, and is a large 2 1/2-story, fieldstone dwelling with a gable roof. It has a two-story, stuccoed stone rear addition. Both houses were built as country mansions and later acquired as a school for handicapped children known as the Woods School. Harewood was acquired in 1924 and Beechwood in 1944. ()
