Product Details

Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Little White House, Warm Springs, Georgia ~ Colorama, Columbus, Georgia, production number S18151-1. This chrome postcard is unused and undated. This is a pre ZIP Code card so I'd say late-1950s or early-1960s. Light wear. See my scan. Fun Fact: two digit zones were used for city addresses between 1943 and 1963. ZIP (Zoning Improvement Plan) Codes were introduced in 1963.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt built the Little White House in 1932 while governor of New York, prior to being inaugurated as president in 1933. He first came to Warm Springs in 1924 hoping to find a cure for the infantile paralysis (polio) that had struck him in 1921. Swimming in the warm, buoyant spring waters brought him no miracle cure, but it did bring improvement. During FDR’s presidency and the Great Depression, he developed many New Deal Programs (such as the Rural Electrification Administration) based upon his experiences in this small town.
