Wallis Simpson Home - Baltimore

Wallis Simpson's home is on East Biddle Street in Baltimore, Maryland.  It was here the future Duchess of Windsor lived from 1908 to 1913.  After spending several years living with her uncle Solomon Davies Warfield, and then her aunt Bessie Merryman, Wallis and her mother, Alice, moved into this three-story brownstone.  On June 20 Alice married John Freeman Rason here in the parlor.  John was able to give the mother and daughter the family support they had been lacking since Wallis' father died just months after her birth in 1896.  During this time Wallis enrolled at Oldfields School, which she attended from 1912 to 1914, paid for by her uncle Solomon Warfield.  In 1913 John Rason died suddenly and the pair were in financial straits again, having to move into an apartment in Earl's Court.  The home was briefly turned into a museum in 1937 after Wallis married Prince Edward.
