I toured his Staunton, Virginia birthplace as part of familly vacation in later 1980s. I saw his boyhood home in Columbia, South Carolina. It was closed for repainting the exterior and cordoned off.

I looked up about his wife Edith. She died on Dec. 28, 1961. Dec. 28 was Woodrow's birthday. I just thought that was kind of interesting.

🚫 As a Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian, "this man is a challenge for me, to avoid reaction". He is the President that (gave our Government 's Power and collectively Our "Given Freedom") to the "International Bankers and Financiers" aka the "Rothschild Family" and their Allies. Today the Public was born after his Presidency, and therefore has no comparitative reality of the subject. To know the details of this, not merely reactions to this, brings a greater understanding of "the Now". 🔺Begin with the Balfour Declaration and the 1961 Speech by Freeman. 🔺Jeckyl Island ✨Manage your nondesires by focusing on the Desired. 🔑 The "Universal Law of Attraction" is your key to Freedoms and your Dreams/Desires.

I like Prospect House with its beautiful architecture, garden and interior, but the DC townhouse and lovely rear garden and modern features is the winner. The solarium is my favorite room, because of its view of the garden and abundant sunlight. Another home I hope to visit. As usual, I appreciate the history lesson at a difficult time in world history. The stress may have possibly contributed to President Wilson's stroke. Thanks Ken.

@@Porsche996driver besides working since I was 14, raising my daughter by myself because her Dad died when she was 3. I remarried when she was 17 and had her brother, who has high functioning autism and was abused by his school district because they refused to acknowledge that he was autistic. I sued the school district to get him special education, which I won and he was the first child in our country to have special education for autism. All of this while I worked a full time job as the lead technician in the pharmacy. I think I've had plenty of times that I needed a servant, but I took care of all of it by myself.

Thanks for another great video. I had the chance to visit his DC house a number of years ago, and your photos brought back nice memories of this lovely home. I especially enjoyed seeing photos of things like the clothes dryer, heating plant, etc. which one rarely gets to see on a tour.

On the contrary, it was the most American thing to do in order to help flesh out the promise that was America. Progressive taxation is a sign of civil society.

Never knew much about Wilson before the Princeton years. Regarding the Treaty of Versailles, Congress objected to one clause that applied to the European countries but not the U.S. The U.S. signed an identical treaty minus that one clause. The failure with the League of Nations concerned the jurisdiction and enforcement of decisions made by a International Court which remains a sticking point to this day.

I always enjoy your programming. Having lived in Staunton, VA, for many years, I can tell you that the U is not factored into the pronunciation of the beautiful city's name. It's "Stanton" and was named for Lady Rebecca Staunton Gooch.

I agree that Wilson’s legacy is marred by atrocious racism and an authoritarian streak. Look up the history of his political rival Eugene Debs as an example of his oppressive nature. But Ken is here to show us beautiful homes! Not talk about politics or explore the complexity of history.

I wish you had mentioned Library Place, Wilson's home in Princeton before he became chancellor. It is (was?) a Tudor Revival house that he designed himself for his wife and three daughters. Great coverage of the S Street house, though.

What about Oatlands? One of Wilson's homes in Virginia near Staunton. I think you should do a video on this mansion as a follow-up to this one. As for favorite rooms, I always like libraries.

I went to Woodrow Wilson high school in Long Beach California. He has always been one of my favorite presidents, I always admired his text of 14 ideas and the League of Nations. If I recall correctly, I visited one of his houses in Washington DC or Georgetown back in the 1980s when I joined the army. I didn’t realize he created the federal reserve system and grew our economy to the next level. Another great chapter in our history and thanks for sharing this house.

Herbert Hoover? 31 US President, would like to know about the architecture of the 1920s and 1930s I wonder what happened during that time, architecture wise. 1942 or previous would be considered before WW2 in America. I wonder what happened to architecture before, during and after WW2 a comparison video would be very helpful. Even a video about architecture before, during and after the Great Depression would be nice. The stock market crash in NY in October 1928 changed so many things. I wonder what happened to architecture built in between Calvin 1923-1929 Coolidge’s and Herbert 1929-1933 Hoover’s presidency (1929) Supposedly houses or homes built in 1943 specifically were of bad quality because they were built during / in the middle of WW2. And houses or homes built in the early 1900s were of better quality. Back then houses or homes were built to last nowadays houses or homes are cookie cutter tear downs after 50 years and don’t you dare claim survivorship bias that is false for a reasonable and fair reason. I wonder if the huge housing development of the 1990s and early 2000s I wonder if the dot com crash, 911, the housing bubble burst, pandemic, the 2 wars going on right now impact the quality of houses and homes especially inflation. It should be like the 1950s if you don’t work hard you die, nowadays you can work hard and still end up dead. but no corporate greed gets in the way boomers had it sweet and easy. It’s a fact because boomers had more children because they were better off financially without the government stepping in to help with their safety net. In the 1950s houses were cookie cutter but at least they were of higher quality, more durable and bigger lots. 1990s homes had big lots but of bad quality. Craftsmanship died in the 1980s. 1990 and beyond are all tract built. Basically 1989 or older is better house and home quality we never recovered after that or at least went back to that even though we can. Inflation, factories removal, and corporate greed ruined everything.
