NYC Historic Roosevelt House: FDR & Eleanor Home, Where The New Deal Happened [View all]
(26 mins). The program includes writer Jon Meacham and the president of Hunter College, Jennifer Raab. In spring 2010 after extensive renovation Roosevelt House, the E. 65th St. home of FDR and Eleanor was re-opened as the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College.
Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt had many famous homes: Hyde Park, Campobello, Warm Springs and The White House, but few people know the story of the New York City home built in 1908 where the Roosevelts spent 24 years.
It was in Roosevelt House that Franklin Roosevelt recovered from polio, celebrated his election to the Presidency in 1932, and where he planned the New Deal. Today, the house is owned by Hunter College.
