The Kennedy Compound consists of three houses on six acres (24,000 m²) of waterfront property on Cape Cod along Nantucket Sound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, United States. It was once the home of American businessman and political figure Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., his wife Rose, and two of their sons, Jack and Bobby. Their youngest son, Ted lived in his parents' house, and it was his main residence from 1982 until his death in 2009. Ted also bought President Kennedy's house from his daughter, Caroline. This house now belongs to Ted Jr. John used the compound as a base for his successful 1960 U.S. Presidential campaign and later as a summer White House and presidential retreat until his assassination in 1963. Ted died at the compound in 2009〔Staff writer (August 27, 2009). ("Kennedy Compound to Be Converted to Museum – Sen.

Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, which said the house would eventually be opened to the public. ==History== In 1926 Joseph P. Kennedy rented a summer cottage at 50 Marchant Avenue in Hyannisport. Two years later, he purchased the structure, which had been erected in 1904, and enlarged and remodeled it to suit his family's needs. In and around this house, their nine children spent their summers, acquiring a lifelong interest in sailing and other competitive activities. In 1956, Jack bought a smaller home of his own at 111 Irving Avenue (), not far from his father's home. Subsequently, Ted acquired the residence at 28 Marchant Avenue () adjacent to the other two in 1959 and sold it to Bobby and his wife Ethel in 1961. Edward lived in the compound until his death.〔〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kennedy Compound」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
