The Wilson House library is decorated with darkly painted walls and tufted furniture with a fireplace at its center and a large desk at one end. It has the air of a room where someone of Wilson’s significance might entertain important guests—and, in fact, it was. As his health began to fail, Wilson’s personal physician, Dr. Cary Grayson, insisted that he have only one visitor each day, and he often met them at precisely 3:30pm in this library.
