Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial
Surrounded by controversy, the FDR Memorial is an interesting site that's different than the other Presidential Memorial in town. This one is set up in a series of outdoor "rooms," each representing a term in his administration. Also unique to the memorial is this is the only one to feature a first lady, and a presidential pet. After the initial dedication in 1997, Disability Rights Groups complained that FDR was not depicted explicitly in his wheelchair. To remedy this, another statue of FDR was added to the entrance - to my eye it looks out of place and somehow seems inappropriate.
