Houses of Wilmington #14

Parker-Saunders House (1844,1871)

John Parker owned the house on 401 South Front Street from 1844 until 1859. It was then bought by the merchant Charles Robinson and his wife who war members of the First Presbyterian Church.

Joseph Wilson was the father of Woodrow Wilson, who later became president of the United States.
