Guest house on left, Little White House in center, servants’ quarters on right
I have edited out my political commentary on FDR and am just leaving photos I took of the Little White House in Warm Springs, GA today.
Roosevelt built the facilities so he could be near Warm Springs, where he swam and exercised in the 88 degree waters to treat his legs which had been paralyzed by polio.
While having his portrait painted, he had a massive stroke and died in his Little White House at 63 years old. The unfinished portrait is displayed in one of the buildings in the memorial complex.
The LWH dining room
I fell in love with the houses. Oddly enough, I loved the servants’ quarters and the guest house best. I could not get a photo of his secretary’s room because it is surrounded by glass and the reflections on the glass were too strong.
Eleanor’s bedroom. The extra bed was for a grandchild. When she brought more than one, they stayed in the guesthouse.
I took dozens of photos, but have tried to select photos of the Little White House that I thought you would most enjoy seeing.
After we finished the tour, it was back to LuBelle’s Ice Cream Parlor for another treat. This time I chose the Birthday flavor. It was vanilla ice cream with chunks of chocolate cake, icing and sprinkles. Unfortunately, it was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I’ll have a plain vanilla before we leave here! 🙂
