FDR - Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, Washington D.C.: 39 reviews and 83 photos
According to the placard nearby, FDR had asked a friend to make certain his memorial met certain requirements ... and this simple marble block was the result. US presidents are aware of the need for us mere mortals to erect monuments to our famous dead ...... and FDR wanted to make sure his memorial was in keeping with his wishes. So here it is, the simple memorial to a great man ......
The larger memorial on the Potomac was not in keeping with this wishes, but does depect his wife and his dog ... so someone else wasn't listening ......
Address: Pennsylvania Ave - next to the Archives
Directions: Walk to the corner and look into the bushes :)
