Woodford Academy is the oldest group of buildings in the Blue Mountains with a history dating back to the 1840's. It is one of the most intact examples of a roadside inn complex in NSW. The inn buildings were converted first to domestic use (c. 1870) and lastly for use by Woodford Academy (1907). Poverty rather than neglect wrought few changes to these essentially 1880's interiors, which survive generally intact with the Academy's collection to this day. The Academy is now owned by the National Trust of NSW. The purpose of the 2001 phase of work was to complete carpentry and joinery repairs commenced earlier, reconstruct the kitchen wing verandah, and undertake major repair works to this wing and adapt some rooms on the ground floor and most rooms on the first floor to new uses. Colour schemes were reconstructed following analysis of earlier schemes. This work followed earlier phases of work undertaken by Clive Lucas, Stapleton & Partners and Robert Moore Architects. This work completed the conservation and stabilisation of the fabric to enable the place and its collection to be interpreted to the public. A caretaker's residence has been inserted within the kitchen wing and the remaining spaces will have public and interpretation use.
