[edit] History
The Kennedy home in Brookline, Massachusetts was the birthplace and childhood home of John F. Kennedy. His sisters, Rosemary and Kathleen, were also born in the house. The house itself was purchased by Joseph P. Kennedy in 1914 and the family lived there for the next seven years, until increased success and family size motivated the Kennedys to move to a larger home just a few blocks away.
