Hedgelawn, also known as the Kohl House, is a historic home located near Middletown, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1856, and is 2 1/2-story, five bay, clapboard clad frame dwelling with a flat roof. It is "L"-shaped. The design is influenced by the Greek Revival, Italianate, and Georgian styles. Also on the property is a contributing hipped roof privy. Hedgelawn was the home of William R. Cochran, son of John P. Cochran, 43rd Governor of Delaware (1875-1879).
