The HISTORY of the Brower House is rich, multi-faceted and deeply connected not only with the history of Rome, but with the entire United States as well. The home is the meeting place of President Woodrow Wilson and Ellen Axson Wilson. Colonel Brower came to Rome from Chicago in 1878 and bought the budding development from the East Rome Town Company a couple of years later. Colonel Brower and his family lived there until 1890 when they returned to Illinois. At the time the house was the only home on the hill in Oakdene. It was not originally located on the site and at some point was moved and turned. Here is your chance to own a bit of presidential history. Oakdene Place is one of Rome’s oldest neighborhoods. Beautifully situated along the winding banks of the Etowah River, bordered by East Sixth Street and Second Avenue, Oakdene started as a planned neighborhood of 111 lots in 1880 and was comprised of 27 acres. Development was halted when a foundry was built on the south end of the neighborhood. Although Oakdene Place never became the large neighborhood it was intended to be, it nevertheless holds beautiful examples of many Queen Anne and Neoclassical style houses and was home to many prominent leaders in the early days of Rome. Placed on the National Historic Register in 1983 after tireless work by homeowners, many of the original historic houses still stand: The 1922 Andrews House at 606 River Ave.; the Trammell House at 308 E. Sixth St., built in 1901 by the president of the Trammell Brick Foundry; and, 705 River Ave., the carriage house built in 1890 for the home of Junius Hillyer on Coral Avenue. Many more homes are waiting to be recognized for their unique beauty and craftsmanship in this lovely enclave.
