Information in The Architecture of monuments / Thomas H. Creighton, 1962, indicates that these drawings are of the design by Pederson [sic, Pedersen] & Tilney. The memorial was proposed for a site in Washington, D.C.'s West Potomac Park. The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Commission, formed in 1955, sponsored the competition for the memorial. According to The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial: report to the President and Congress by the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Commission, Pedersen & Tilney won the first competition, but this design was abandoned because of public controversy. Lawrence Halprin's design is the latest proposal approved in 1978 for this memorial.

19 drawings : various media ; 67.6 x 48 cm. (25 5/8 x 19 in.) or smaller.
