Roosevelt Island
Roosevelt Island in Washington D.C. can only be reached by bridge on the Virginia side of the Potomac.
In the northern center of the island stands a 17-foot high bronze statue of Theodore Roosevelt overlooking a terrace encircled by a water-filled moat.
TR's likeness was done by Paul Manship who did the 1934 golden statue of Prometheus in Water at Rockefeller Center.
The Park and statue were dedicated in 1967 by Alice Roosevelt Longworth. Privately Alice called the statue the ugliest thing she ever saw.
