Washington, DC

John F. Kennedy (b. May 29, 1917; d. November 22, 1963) was the 35th President of the United States. After serving in the Navy during WWII, his political ambitions took him to Congress and then the Senate. In 1960, Kennedy ran for president and was sworn into office in 1961. He championed human rights and was vigorous in his pursuit of civil rights legislation. However, his term was cut short when he was assassinated in Texas in 1963. In 1950, just as he was re-elected for a third congressional term, Kennedy moved from northern Georgetown to this federal-style brick house just north of O Street. His address was 1400 34th Street NW.
