Presidential Seal in FDR Memorial

The FDR Memorial on the National Mall is the second FDR Memorial in Washington, DC.  The first one was built just the way Roosevelt wanted: a marble block no larger than his desk.  The memorial stone stands  on the northwest grounds of the National Archives Building, facing the U.S. Navy Memorial.
