Little White House Warm Springs
GA
Franklin D. Roosevelt came to Warm Springs in 1924 in hopes
of recovering from the effects of polio. His love for the area
and hopes for the Georgia Warm Springs
Foundation led him to build a small white clapboard cottage on these
pine scented slopes. The house was completed in 1932 while FDR
was Governor of
New York. During FDR's four elected terms as the 32nd
President the cottage became known as the "Little White House".The
cost was $8,738 including landscaping. FDR died here
of a massive stroke as he was sitting for a portrait. |
