Description

Bright sun lights the front facade of this solid, square house made of red brick. The small landing leading to the front door includes four white columns. Two floor-to-ceiling windows on each side of the door are flanked by green shutters, as are the five smaller windows above. The end of the building shows it to be three stories tall -- one story tucked under the sloping roof -- with a white picket fence enclosing the side yard. A chimney on each end provided heat in winter.

The steps leading away from the house land directly on a brick sidewalk that parallels the street -- 7th Street, in Augusta, GA. Near the left edge of the image, a black sign with white letters proclaims it to be the boyhood home of Woodrow Wilson. Another sign, made of metal with embossed lettering, give more detail on its historical significance.

President Woodrow Wilson's boyhood home, in downtown Augusta, GA. This home is across the street from First Presbyterian Church, where the boy's father preached.
