English: Woodrow Wilson's personal typewriter, located in the——first floor office at Woodrow Wilson House. Wilson was the first president——to personally own a typewriter. And he composed. And typed most of his own letters. Wilson suffered from dyslexia, and did not learn——to read until he was 10 years old. He taught himself shorthand as a means of compensating.

The office is to your left just after you enter the "home." Many of Wilson's mementos from his days at Princeton University (where he was a faculty member and later president of the college) are located here.

All the furniture, "mementos," and keepsakes in Woodrow Wilson House are originals. The books are not; Wilson donated all his books to the Library of Congress. These books are the same that existed in Wilson's library (right down to the same date and edition), but were not owned by, "Woodrow Wilson."

Woodrow Wilson House is located at 2340 S Street NW in Washington, D.C . After Wilson's second term as president ended on March 4, 1921, he moved into this house with his wife and "two servants." Crippled by the stroke that ended his presidency, Wilson died in the house on February 3, 1924.
