In June 2020 the equestrian statue of Teddy Roosevelt was slated to take a rough ride from the steps of the entrance of NYC’s American Museum of Natural History into oblivion. — “The statue was meant to celebrate Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) as a devoted naturalist and author of works on natural history…. At the same time, the statue itself communicates a racial hierarchy that the Museum and members of the public have long found disturbing,” according to the museum’s website.
This 1923 reproduction of the 1848 brownstone which was Theodore Roosevelt’s 1858 birthplace and childhood home, is now a museum.
Theodate Pope Riddle, the first woman to become a licensed architect in NY, designed the site for the Woman’s Roosevelt Memorial Association (later renamed the Roosevelt Memorial Association).
