| 説明 | Looking north at the west side of the entrance hall at Woodrow Wilson House -- 2340 S Street NW in Washington, D.C., in the United States.The Georgian Revival house was built in 1915 by Henry Parker Fairbanks, a Boston businessman and carpet industry lobbyist, and designed by celebrated architect Waddy Wood. It's not clear who chose the architectural details of the facade, but Wood appears to have designed them by trying to harmonize his design with the six or seven houses (several designed by legendary architect John Russell Pope) in the area. As Woodrow Wilson's second term as president came to an end, he and his wife (Edith Bolling Galt Wilson) decided to stay in Washington, D.C. They began looking for a property, and after looking at a number of properties as well as considering whether to build a house, they settled on the Fairbanks property. Mrs. Wilson's endless negotiations over price nearly lost them the house, but President Wilson intervened and personally brought the purchase to a close. Wilson's presidency ended on March 4, 1921, and he moved into this house with his wife and two servants. Crippled by the 1919 stroke that ended his presidency, Wilson died in the house on February 3, 1924. Edith Wilson continued to live in the house until her death on December 28, 1961.All the furniture, mementos, and keepsakes in Woodrow Wilson House are originals. The books are not; Wilson donated all his books to the Library of Congress. These books are the same that existed in Wilson's library (right down to the same date and edition), but were not owned by Woodrow Wilson. |
