           WHITE HOUSE
     See the “Unfinished Portrait” of the nation’s 32nd president,
     Franklin Delano Roosevelt, hanging in the carefully preserved
     house with furnishings very much as Roosevelt left them in
    1945. Painted on April 12, 1945, the portrait was disrupted
     and never finished when Roosevelt suffered a massive stroke
     and died. The house in Warm Springs was established for
     Roosevelt in the hopes the healing powers of the warm spring
     water there would end his fight with polio. Self-guided and
     guided tours available.
