Following the tragic death of President John F. Kennedy, his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy, moved from the White House to an 18th-century Georgetown residence known as the Baker House to serve as home for her and her young children. Known for her oversized sunglasses, unerring sense of style, and unflappable quiet elegance, in addition to her career as a book editor, Jackie was an active proponent of preserving historically important homes and buildings, making this property a great choice.
