Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace

The Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site is the recreated brownstone at 28 East 20th Street in Manhattan that served as the birthplace and childhood home of President Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt lived in the home from 1858 until 1872. In 1916, the home was torn down as part of a retail development. Within three years, the home site was purchased to preserve as a historic site.
