fdr brings an architect to the site from the state of georgia, who was no stranger to fdr. they worked together on several projects, including the hyde town park library, stone cottage, as well as a couple buildings in warm springs, georgia. he was not brought up here to design this building himself. fdr had every intention of doing that. the architect would be standing behind him making sure everything was going to work. he designed it not only to meet his personal interests in the dutch influence of this building, but also his physical needs. he was in a wheelchair and design this in such a way that he could use this place. there was an earthen ramp onto the porch. once he got into the building he would enter through a sliding door. which for someone in a wheelchair is important, because sliding doors don't matter what side you are on. most modern sliding doors don't have that track on the bottom. this track was recessed into the floor so it created one small bump. it was one flat surface all the way through, no thresholds between the doors, no obstacles in the way. even
