The house was in between Broadway and Fourth Avenue and looked like many other New York brownstones. It had a narrow front and a high stoop. The formal parlor gave way to a narrow hall, with the dining room at the rear. The master bedroom and nursery were on the second floor, with three more bedrooms on the third floor. It had a deep porch at the rear of the third floor level. It had been a bedroom before the Roosevelts made it an open-air playroom.
