When the 11,100-square-foot house initially went on the market, the couple also listed a land-only property, which sold for $9.75 million in 2022 to a different buyer. The lot had a basketball and pickleball court with 110 feet of lakefront property. On March 4, 1921, Woodrow and Edith Wilson moved out of the White House and into their new home – just a mile and a half away – at 2340 S Street, N.W. Edith called the mansion home until her passing in 1961, at which time she bequeathed the house and its furnishings to the National Trust for Historic Preservation to serve as a monument to President Wilson. An accurate and full accounting of the Wilson Era reveals the systemic injustices we continue to confront to this day. At the same time, understanding Wilson’s leading role in defining and leading a new dawn in 20th-century international relations is vital to rethinking those dynamics in the 21st century.

In 1999, Guy and Clelia Thomas purchased the building and completed wonderful restoration work several years later. Please join us and our hosts, the Thomases, on a tour of this 40-room eclectic historic mansion with a rich history of presidential politicking. Still crying over a fictional character's death from a movie you saw years ago? We are, too—so with this column, EW staffers pay tribute to something in the pop culture world they're still not over.

About the Woodrow Wilson House

Despite his kind, and sometimes humorous nature, Wilson does occasionally get in a cranky mood. This typically happens when House pushes him to his limits, or when his issues just become difficult to handle, in general. There have also been times where Wilson has expressed some outrage or anger towards Cuddy, House himself and even some of House's team, usually for some emotional failure. This usually manifests in him "going off" on them, but is usually brief, and he typically makes up with them quickly.

On the Market: A Dreamy Architectural Wonder in Weston

It received high critical acclaim, and was consistently one of the highest-rated series in the United States. One of the reasons House is so close to Wilson is that it appears it is the one relationship he has that he has no chance of ruining. Wilson, however, is often rightfully frustrated by House's attempts to test the strength of the relationship, such as when House deliberately borrowed increasingly large sums of money for no reason. House also occasionally manipulates, and plays games, to take advantage of and magnify Wilson's faults. In the Season 6 episode, Wilson, he noticed that a Cancer patient, who was in remission, did not brag about his grand kids like usual.

The term Hilson has been coined to describe those who support a romantic relationship between the two, and in the episodes Hunting, The Tyrant and The Down Low they have been mistaken for a gay couple. This same misunderstanding has also been explored in modern interpretations of Sherlock Holmes, particularly the 2010 production "Sherlock" set in 21st century Great Britain where people often mistake Holmes and Watson for a gay couple. Wilson also occasionally gets petty, such as with germs and keeping food safe, and with keeping his furniture clean. In the Season 6 episode, Open and Shut, this proves to be a challenge with his attempt to get back together with Sam.

When House hangs a stethoscope on the doorknob, indicating that he needs “private time,” Wilson is willing to spend hours waiting outside in a bid to respect his friend’s boundaries - only for House to reveal that he was sitting in the apartment alone the whole time. While Wilson is normally a calm, serious person, he does have a humorous and playful side, as well. This especially happens when he is in a good emotional state, and/or when people play pranks with him. In 1921, these included Mr. George Howard, the chauffeur, Mr. Rupple, the night nurse, a laundress once a week and probably a cook for all but the simplest meals.

In the Season 3 episode, Family, House lashes out at Wilson for leaving a major decision up to the parents of a patient, and when asked what he would recommend, he simply tells the parents that it's their decision. Also, in the Season 4 episode, Living The Dream, his girlfriend, Amber Volakis, tells him that the reason that his previous marriages didn't work out was because he did whatever they wanted and he ended up resenting them. In Season 8, Wilson even agrees to undergo debilitating chemotherapy in order to extend his lifetime for House's sake, despite not wanting the treatment for himself. Wilson constantly enables House, including drug abuse and rude behavior, but on occasion stands up to him, usually for his own good, such as refusing to help him escape the psych ward in "Broken," or refusing to take the fall for a vandalism charge in Season 8. Wilson is a good-natured person who genuinely cares about his patients and just about everyone he meets.

While Wilson’s character may seem straightforward on the surface, a closer examination reveals the complexities and depth of his personality. In the episode, House must diagnose Dr. Amber Volakis (Anne Dudek), one of the fellows he eliminated earlier in the season and, most importantly, his best friend Dr. James Wilson's girlfriend. She and House were involved in a bus crash, and she ends up dying from her injuries and complications from a flu medicine she was on. This case isn't only personal because of Amber's connection to Wilson; House feels directly responsible for her death. No longer a world where an idealized doctor has all the answers or a hospital where gurneys race down the hallways, House's focus is on the pharmacological—and the intellectual demands of being a doctor.

Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding, Wilson never attended to plead to the charges and a Louisiana warrant was issued for his arrest. During this time, Wilson was trying to deal with the demands of his brother Danny Wilson, a student at Princeton University who was on medication for his schizophrenia. Danny had a habit of calling James to complain about his treatment by the professors as the medication Danny took did not totally eliminate his paranoia. However, on one occasion, James was desperately trying to study and hung up on Danny.

As you explore the beautiful Kalorama neighborhood, learn about the history and residents of thirteen houses designed by the famous architect of the Woodrow Wilson House, Waddy Butler Wood. By the 1920s, just as the Wilson’s moved to S Street, restrictive covenants had institutionalized neighborhood segregation in the capital. These covenants -- private contracts among neighborhood residents barring the sale of homes to African Americans as well as Jews, Catholics, and Asians, limited minority access to improved housing and city resources. The landmark 1926 case, Corrigan v. Buckley, established the legality of these contracts by citing the D.C.’s existing policies segregating schools and recreational facilities. The house at the center of this legal battle was just a few blocks East of the Wilson House on S Street and 17th. The cementing of Jim Crow, bolstered by the Wilson administration’s segregation of the federal government, turned 20th century D.C.

Amber was put on life support, eventually succumbing to the organ damage but not before she said goodbye to Wilson. His relationship with House is turbulent in the short term, but stable in the long term as it is the only relationship in both their lives that actually lasts through difficult times. Wilson genuinely cares for House and is often willing to stick his neck out for his friend, defending House to the hospital board and to his fellow doctors every chance he gets. Most importantly, Wilson assists House in his attempts to recover from his opiate dependence.
