Detailed explanation-1: -This is the boyhood home of the first U.S. president to be born in New York City. Raised in a townhouse at 28 E. 20th St., Theodore Roosevelt would grow up to be our 26th President and become immortalized on Mount Rushmore.
Detailed explanation-2: -He was born in New York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, but he too struggled–against ill health–and in his triumph became an advocate of the strenuous life. In 1884 his first wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day.
Detailed explanation-3: -FDR’s home in Hyde Park, New York, is officially named “Springwood, ” but the Roosevelts always referred to the site simply as “Hyde Park” or “The Big House.” The home was originally built in 1826 and was purchased by FDR’s father James Roosevelt in 1867. FDR was born at Springwood on January 30, 1882.
