    Happy birthday, Teddy!

    A block party was held Sunday to celebrate Theodore Roosevelt’s 150th birthday at his childhood home in Manhattan.

    The four-story brownstone where Roosevelt was born is usually closed Sundays, but it was open to visitors in honor of the occasion.

    Outside on East 20th Street there were pony rides and a Gatling gun that saw action in the Spanish-American war.

    Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States. His actual birthday is Monday.
