The Chester B. Woodward House is a historic brick residence built in 1923 in Topeka, Kansas, designed by the architectural firm Root & Siemens in the Classical Revival style. Commissioned for Chester B. Woodward, a prominent businessman who served as vice president of the Central National Bank and Trust Company of Topeka from 1920 to 1928 and later as president of the Topeka Morris Plan Company, the house reflects the refined taste of early twentieth-century Topeka's business elite. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 25, 1992, and on the Register of Historic Kansas Places, the residence survives as a notable example of interwar residential architecture in the region.
