What year was the house, in which the 1912 and 1924 candidate for president of the United States stayed, declared a National Historic Landmark?
Oscar W. Underwood House The Oscar W. Underwood House is a historic house located at 2000 G Street in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood Northwest, Washington, D.C.. It is nationally significant both for its association with Alabama politician Oscar Underwood (1862-1929) who lived here 1914-25, and also as the first long-term home of the Washington College of Law, the nation's first law school founded and run by women. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976. The building presently houses a legal aid clinic operated by George Washington University.
United States presidential election, 1916 The United States presidential election of 1916 was the 33rd quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 1916. Incumbent President Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate, was pitted against Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican candidate. After a hard-fought contest, Wilson defeated Hughes by nearly 600,000 votes in the popular vote and secured a narrow majority in the Electoral College by winning several swing states with razor-thin margins. Wilson's re-election marked the first time that a Democratic Party candidate had won two consecutive Presidential elections since Andrew Jackson won re-election in the 1832 election. This was the last election before the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted women the right to vote.
