History
The house at 83 Beals Street in Brookline preserves the birthplace and early childhood home of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and reflects the Kennedy family’s life from 1914 to 1920. Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. bought the house shortly before marrying Rose Fitzgerald, and John F. Kennedy was born there on May 29, 1917; two of his sisters were also born in the same room. Restored under Rose Kennedy’s direction in the late 1960s to resemble its 1917 appearance, the home emphasizes family life, household routines, and an upper-middle-class domestic setting rather than only presidential memory.
