Back:
THIS HOME, WHERE WOODROW WIL-
SON SPENT PART OF HIS YOUTH, was
built in 1870 by the Rev. Joseph R. Wilson,
father of Woodrow Wilson, who was a pro-
fessor at the Columbia Theological Seminary.
Rev. Joseph Wilson came to Columbia from
Staunton, Va., where President Wilson was
born in 1856. Upon arrival in Columbia, Dr.
Wilson built the home after a plan made by
his wife Jessie Woodrow Wilson. In this
house President Wilson lived from his 14th
to about his 18th year.
