Synopsis

Excerpt from Historic Structure Report: Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, National Historic Site, Hyde Park, New York

The Home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (fdr) is interpreted to the year 1945. The rationale for this date was provided by fdr himself. He began plans in the late 1930's to donate his home to the federal government as a National Historic Site (nhs). His wishes included that nothing be altered once the property changed hands. As it happened, fdr died in the spring of 1945, at which time the members of his family gave up their rights of ownership.

Research for this historic structure report (hsr) on the Home of fdr was begun by the author in October 1983, but was ended in December of that year in order to address and complete work directed by the Office of the President of the United States. Research and physical investigation recommenced in October 1986, and continued sporadically until completion in January 1989. Although only nondestructive types of investigation were permitted, many available technical means were employed to study the house's architectural fabric and to yze it comparatively.

Several aspects of terminology in this report need explanation. Room names and numbers are those instituted when the house was restored following the 1982 fire; they differ in some respects from the room names seen on the 1941 Historic American Building Survey drawings (appendix B). Also, a number of abbreviations are used throughout the report. Members of the Roosevelt family, after their first citation in the text, are referenced subsequently by their first names. Likewise, after their initial citation in the footnotes, Roosevelt family members are referenced by their initials.
