JFK called 294 Pondfield Rd, Bronxville, New York home from May of 1929 until January, 1942. Joe, Sr., frustrated by his inability to be accepted by the social elites in Boston moved his family to this 5.5 acre hillside estate called Crownlands.<\/p>\n

The house was a Georgian style mansion. The Kennedy houses were not known for their elegance or chic and in fact were sometimes described as shabby and worn. However, in Bronxville, there was a grand piano near the entranceway with twin fireplaces at either end of the main sitting room. The rooms were finished with beige carpets and antique finished green paneled walls. Vases held white calla lillies.<\/p>\n
