| Apparently canes were a pretty standard gift to Woodrow Wilson. He was
given many and he used them all the time.
|
The office has lots of Princeton memorabilia. (Wilson was a former
president of the university and apparently had lots of school spirit.)
| The solarium, the nicest room in the house, as seen from halfway up the
steps. I intended to take a better picture of it but forgot.
| Although it looks like an oil painting, it's actually a micro-mosaic.
Look at the full-size image to see the individual tiny stones.

| The library. I like the couch and the globe (not shown).
| Another view of the library. The far chair was the one Wilson sat in
during cabinet meetings. Farther off is a radio, a microscope, and a
graphoscope (an early movie projector). He even had a roll-down screen.
The focus of this picture is the rug. It's filled with images of
Americana.
|
Because Wilson believed one should dress up to eat in a dining room and
he usually didn't want to, he often ate in the library.
| The back garden as seen from the solarium. This picture also captures
some of the plants in the solarium.

| Wilson's bedroom.
|
There was a room for a live-in nurse, which was needed at times.
| At bottom, Wilson's presidential china. This was the first state china
made in the United States. Many later presidents used similar designs,
sometimes changing only the colors.
At top, the allied tea service, a tea setting with flags for all the
allied countries in World War I.
| Lovely plates with paintings of Belgian scenes, a gift of the Belgian
royalty. I like them.
