Sagamore Hill was the family home of Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty-sixth President of the United States, his wife Edith, and their six children. He built the Queen Anne Shingle style house on one hundred fifty-five acres between 1884 and 1886, and during his presidency from 1901 to 1909 it became known as the Summer White House. The property included a working farm with numerous outbuildings, pastures, a garden, orchard, woodlands, a tidal marsh, and a beach on Cold Spring Harbor. In 1918, about one year before Theodore Roosevelt's death, the site's structures and landscape features reflected this broad family estate. Edith Roosevelt remained in the family home and managed the farm until her death in 1948.
