Roosevelt at Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New York, with its historic house, outbuildings, gardens and the adjoining Bellefield (Newbold/Morgan) estate, now a National Historic Site of 264.51 acres.","why_significant":"It is described as the only place in the United States where a President was born, grew to manhood and lies buried. The estate carries many physical and personal marks of Roosevelt, including his chosen grave site, the rose garden, the pond where he swam during his recovery from polio, and the protected Hudson River view. The Newbold/Morgan Mansion adds architectural significance as a McKim, Mead and White remodelling and helps preserve the setting.","narrative":"Springwood, the family estate of Franklin D. Roosevelt, overlooks the Hudson River at Hyde Park, New York. The site now covers 264.51 acres and includes the main house, a Queen Anne style coach house, a Carpenter Gothic gardener's cottage, ice houses, a greenhouse, a reservoir, and the rose garden where Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt are buried. The house began as a farmhouse built between 1790 and 1805 and was altered by later owners. A 1915 renovation by Hoppin and Koen gave it its present stuccoed Federal-inspired appearance with stone wings. Adjoining Bellefield, built about 1795 and enlarged by McKim, Mead and White between 1909 and 1911, houses park offices. The property is significant as the only place where a President was born, raised and buried. Roosevelt fought polio here between 1921 and 1928, and his deed required protection of the river view from the house.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Hoppin and Koen (1915 renovation of Springwood); also F.
