Description
After the Civil War, Mary Eustis went south to teach the newly-freed slaves how to read and write. In 1868, she married William Rotch Wister; they lived for eight years at a still-standing house (now owned by La Salle) on Clarkson Avenue; in 1876, they moved across Clarkson to the now-gone house “Wister.” The driveway pillars for this house can still be seen about 100 feet up the hill from the intersection of Wister and Belfield.
