Around the corner on S Street, at No. 2340, a short distance from the avenue, stands the house (47) in which Woodrow Wilson lived for nearly 3 years after his retirement from the Presidency in 1921. From the balcony over the portico on this house he made a brief speech on Armistice Day in 1923---his last public appearance; and here, 3 months later, he died. ---Washington City and Capital 1937
