Little White House

Warm Springs, GA


Today the Little White House is part of Georgia's state park system and is open to visitors; it’s been preserved to look almost exactly as it did the day FDR died. Items on display at the facility, besides the Unfinished Portrait, include his customized 1938 Ford convertible (in the bottom floor of the garage/servant house) and his stagecoach.

This was made in Japan

Manneken Pis

This photo was found among my Grandpa's things and we presume he took it during World War II.  

 He bought the replica Manneken Pis below about 20 years ago and displayed it proudly for years. I have it now and continue the tradition. It is a concrete cast piece. The head was cast separately and it has metal tubing running from the middle of the base to the junk.
