The garage-servant's quarters was built in 1932, followed by the single-story frame cottage that served as a guesthouse in 1933, and finally a cottage for Georgia Wilkins in 1934. Wilkins' family were the original owners of the property. I did make a video of the tour, it really was quite good I thot: [ youtube video ]
THE GUEST HOUSE, built by Mr. Roosevelt when he needed more room for guests after becoming President.
Most of the furniture was made in the Val-Kill Shops established at Hyde Park, New York, by Mrs. Roosevelt to help the unemployed. There is an entry; a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom with twin beds. The President's love for the sea is everywhere in evidence. The first item to be noted on the tour is a ship model on the mantel of the guest house.
The servants quarters were heated by a coal stove; the guest house with fireplaces; and the Little White House by a furnace.
