This beautiful room contains a queen sized cherry
sleigh bed, a Queen Ann side table, a comfortable,
old maple rocking chair, and private bath. A
“now retired” stone fireplace has the words inscribed,
“East, West, Hame’s Best.” The inscription
can be dated to the Fendrick children (1889-1944).
A private bath is offered.
This room is titled the Presidents’ Room because
both Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge stayed
in this room while visiting their sons at the
Academy. President Coolidge mourned the accidental
death of his son, Calvin Junior (1924), in this
room for over a month.
This room makes a second room in a 2-room
suite via an adjoining door with the
Dr. Hugh Mercer Room.
