Eleanor and her husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, occupied Roosevelt House—a gift from FDR’s mother Sara Delano Roosevelt that became their New York City family home—from 1905 through 1941. The building became a part of Hunter College in 1942, originally serving as a headquarters for cultural and social clubs, events, speeches, and faculty conferences.  After a major renovation, it re-opened in 2010 the college’s public policy institute.
