Woodville is an elegant mansion along Northam Road in George Town, Penang. It was built to resemble a French château for the late Lim Lean Teng.

It was designed by Charles Miller of the firm A.R.I.B.A in 1925. Woodville includes a tower with a dome, placed to resemble the dome on the former Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank building at Downing Street. The mansion is essentially eclectic in design, taking elements from various styles and fusing them together.

This mansion currently belongs to Lim Boon Kheng, son of Lim Theng Hin. Lim Boon Kheng now lives in Singapore and Woodsville is under Heritage building in Penang. Therefore, cannot be demolished.

Although this mansion was named Lim Lean Teng, he was not the original owner. Ho Kim Teik was. Ho was one of Penang's first motor dealers. He sold the building to Lim in the mid-1930s.

The dome with a cupola was added to the design last minute. Lim insisted on the design because he thought it gave the house its "standing".
