Maudie’s Tea Room – Woodstock

Constructed in 1921 for Mr. J. Ralph Hayden and his wife, Alice Maude Brown, Maudie’s Tea Room is situated at 103 Grover Street in Woodstock. The house experienced significant damage from a basement fire in 1922, with some burnt beams still visible today.

In 1927, Mrs. Hayden opened a tea room, which she managed until her passing in 1945. Initially named “Sunset Porch,” it later became known as “Maudie’s Tea Room” and ultimately as the “Pastel Shade Tea Room.”
