Buildings in downtown Warm Springs, Georgia, the town in which Franklin Roosevelt sought treatment for polio in 1924 -- nine years before he became U.S. president. Originally named Bullochville for the Bulloch family of Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, mother of President Theodore Roosevelt and maternal grandmother of Franklin Roosevelt's wife, Eleanor, the town was a failing Victorian spa noted for therapy for yellow fever when Roosevelt took a liking to it, eventually turning a little cottage into his "Little White House."
