Woods–Meade House, is a historic home located at Rocky Mount, Franklin County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1830, and is the brick, one cell, front section. It features a molded brick cornice, fine jack arches, and curious half-round brick pilasters and round brick porch supports. Later additions were made to the rear of the original section, starting in 1834.[3]

The house is named for the original owner Robert T. Woods and for Morrison Meade who acquired it in 1834 and further developed it.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
