Summary
| Description |
English: This rectangular block of white marble is inscribed "In Memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt 1882-1945". The 3 feet tall, 7 feet long, 4 feet wide block is located at 852 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, near the southeast corner of Ninth Street NW and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, in the front lawn of the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. A plaque near the memorial quotes Roosevelt's wish that "If they are to put up any memorial to me, I should like it to be placed in the center of that green plot in front of the Archives Building. I should like it to consist of a block about the size [of this desk]". The monument was dedicated on April 12, 1965, the 20th anniversary of FDR's death. It is the first memorial to Franklin Delano Roosevelt constructed in Washington, D.C. Reference: Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial Block: Washington, DC |
