Looks like a lovely child’s nursery from the early 20th century, huh?  I personally would love to raise a child in such a nursery.  It looks like a lovely place to grow up in general.  Well, this isn’t my house, nor is it either of my parents.  Whose is it?  Well, does this guy look familiar?:

Yeah, this guy, Bostonian John F. Kennedy and he born in Brookline, Massachusetts, a place I like immensely.  Brookline reminds me of an old American small town from a movie.  Oh and there is a Trader Joe’s there.  When I say John F. Kennedy was born in Brookline, I mean in actual Brookline.  Actually in this room:

On the tour, I heard that John Kennedy was actually born in this room, over by the window.  I was struck by two things at this place. One was that this house is just in the middle of a Brookline street with other houses around it and could easily be over looked.  The other is how small the place is.  I used a wide angle lens because I knew it would be small, but I didn’t know it would be as small as it was.  My vision of the Kennedys is a large group of people running around a big house on the Cape.  That they lived in this small house brought them back down to earth for me.

Our next visit will be to the dining room.  It is lovely as well and featured a miniature dining room table for the children.  I wanted to capture the traditional-ness of the dining room, but the small dining room table did not come out as I wanted, so everyone will just have to use their imagination for now:

Just a family house and its dining room.  Next up is what I thought of as the most interesting part of the living room:

Last but not least, Mrs. Rose Kennedy’s correspondence room, where she kept track of the progress of all the children:
