5 Stunning Personal Residences of U.S. Presidents

Overlooking the Hudson River, Springwood is the birthplace, lifelong home, and burial site of 32nd U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

From his birth in 1882 to his death in 1945, the estate in Hyde Park, New York, remained an important touchstone for FDR throughout his life. After being diagnosed with polio at the age of 39, the buildings were outfitted to accommodate FDR's disability, including the addition of a swimming pool, ramps, handrails, and wheelchair accessibility.
