The mansion stands in place of the original mansion that burnt down due to a house fire in 1927. During the Great Depression, mansion fell under municipal ownership. Monmouth University (then called Monmouth College) acquired the property in 1956. Today, Wilson Hall is the administrative center of the University, though some classes and events are also held in this building. The building was named after President Woodrow Wilson who spent the summer of 1916 living in there during his presidential campaign.
