Called the "Little White House" due to the fact that President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent quite a bit of time here. The nearby Warm Springs brought some relief to the pain he endured due to polio. It was in this house that he died on April 12, 1945, shortly after having been elected President of the United States for his fourth term.

FDR had this modest cottage built in 1932 while he was Governor of New York. He would continue to visit here during his Presidency taking advantage of the naturally warm spring waters that are close by. He would suffer a massive stroke and die here on April 12, 1945.
