The Little White House is full of history...and a
legend.
Legend has it that when FDR died in the Little White
house, his dog, Fala, broke through the screen at the lower
right corner of the front window by the door...
...ran up the walkway
from the green smoking lamp that was lit only when the President was
present...
...to the flagpole area
where he howled to the winds...
...crying inconsolably for
FDR, his friend and master.
(Is the legend
true? Quite possibly as it matches contemporary recollections
and the lower right window to the left of the front door is the only
one in the house with new screening material on it. All
the other windows still have their original screening
materials.)
