A fact from Top Cottage appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 December 2007, and was viewed approximately 8,700 times (
disclaimer) (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that since
Thomas Jefferson designed his home,
Franklin D. Roosevelt's Top Cottage(pictured) has been the only house designed by a U.S. President, although no President has stayed there overnight?
I think it might be more useful to have a simple list of the residents of Top Cottage previous to its being purchased by the FDR Library, along with the years they lived there. Since there are already full biographies of Franklin and Elliot Roosevelt on Wikipedia, the links would be sufficient - along with a short blurb on their connection to the cottage. If memory serves, Elliot sold the cottage to the Potter family I the 1950s.
