Leslie Hindman Auctioneers is honored to bring to auction the contents of what has come

to be known as the Kennedy Winter White House. The Palm Beach property was not simply

the residence of Joseph P. Sr. and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, but a home that was

instrumental in shaping their children, their family legacy and John F. Kennedy’s time in

public office.

Initially built for department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker II, the home was designed

by the highly regarded Palm Beach architect Addison Mizner in 1923. The home was called

“La Guerida,” which loosely translated means “the bounty of war.” Mizner was an icon in

Southern Florida architecture, known for his Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial

approach in building some of the most recognizable resorts, mansions and buildings in Palm

Beach and Boca Raton. The architect also operated Mizner Industries, a manufacturing

company that supplied the tiles, stone, metalwork and furniture for many of his projects.

A decade later, Mr. Wanamaker sold the home to Joseph P. Kennedy for $120,000. Mr.

Kennedy then purchased 150 feet of beachfront north of the home and commissioned

renowned architect Maurice Fatio to build an additional wing onto the home, along with

a look into the


Addison Mizner Rodman Wanamaker II

a pool pavilion and tennis court. The original Mizner furniture in the home was included in

the transaction.

One of the most distinctive architectural features of the house is the long covered walkway

that extends west of the main home and terminates at the main gate of the compound. Its

street facing side has set the scene for many press conferences and announcements by

the Kennedy family.

The Kennedy home in Palm Beach became an epicenter for not only family, but for publicity,

and politics. And while political and professional success was the foundation upon which

the family’s legacy was built, it was their sense of togetherness that was perhaps equally

influential.

Having been in the family for over sixty years as the permanent residence of Joseph and

Rose Kennedy, the home was a frequent retreat for President John F. Kennedy and his

siblings: Joseph, Rose, Kathleen, Eunice, Patricia, Robert, Jean, Ted and their families.

It was here that John recovered from back surgery, penned Profiles in Courage, wrote his

inaugural address and enjoyed intimate family holidays.

Significant presidential meetings and appointments took place at the home during the

Kennedy administration. Since many cabinet members and high ranking military personnel

were regular guests at the Palm Beach home, both the United States Department of

the Navy and United States Secret Service made alterations to the property for security

measures. As such, it has acquired the name “Winter White House.”

The oceanfront estate played host to many important guests such as Vice President

Lyndon Johnson, Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn and Senate Majority Leader Mike

Mansfield. President Kennedy wrote his inaugural speech and also interviewed all of his

Cabinet members (with the exception of Robert McNamara and Robert Kennedy) at the

Palm Beach home.

The Palm Beach residence remained in the Kennedy family for 62 years until it was sold

in 1995 to Mr. and Mrs. John Castle, who purchased the home with a large selection of its

the Winter White House as it appeared in the early 1960s. the wings on each side of the main house were

added by architect Maurice Fatio after joseph P. Kennedy purchased the home in 1933.

Leslie Hindman Auctioneers would like to thank Mrs. Leo Racine for her recollection of the Kennedy

years at the Winter White House.

Mr. Leo Racine was a retired executive from the office of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. in New York and Palm

Beach. His wife June helped to authenticate the Kennedy furniture, as they had been frequent guests

of the Kennedy family and were familiar with the house and its contents.

We would also like to thank the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, the Preservation Foundation

of Palm Beach, the Boca Raton Historical Society and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and

Museum for their generous help in researching the history of the Kennedy family, Addison Mizner and

La Guerida and for providing the historic photos.

Reportedly, the floor screen was originally owned by Sir Winston Churchill’s daughter, Lady Mary Soames, who hosted Rose and Joseph Kennedy at her English estate.

Sitting by the Coromandel screen which Mrs. Kennedy admired, Mrs. Kennedy offered the fur coat she was wearing in exchange for the screen. The offer was accepted and the deal cemented.

society architect Addison Mizner created the “Palm Beach style” with his design for the Everglades Club at 4 Via

Parigi in 1918. He quickly found that he was not able to purchase the tile and iron work he needed for his spanish

designs through local suppliers. He took over a blacksmith shop to make lighting fixtures and ornamental grills

and built his own kilns to make the roof tiles.

As his commissions grew, he purchased various craft shops to supply the décor and materials for his projects.

Mizner Industries grew into one of the largest manufacturing companies in Palm Beach in the 1920s. the company

made tiles, hand made pottery, wrought iron and stamped metal fixtures, cast stone columns, windows and door

surrounds, indoor and outdoor furniture, and art glass. the furnishings and other details were often distressed to

give them the appearance of antiquity.

Mizner Industries also imported antique furniture, decorative tiles, and other accessories to supplement the locally

made products. together these items helped furnish homes throughout south Florida built in the Mediterranean

Revival style.

Kennedy renamed in his grandfather’s honor. President Kennedy spent many hours on the Honey Fitz in the Potomac River or in Palm Beach during holidays at the Winter White House.

GuIDE FOR PROsPECtIVE BuyERs

Conditions of SaleLeslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue.

ExhibitionsLeslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process.

EstimatesLeslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision.

Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction.

BEFORE tHE sALEProspective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

At tHE sALE

Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

Registration before BiddingA prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references.

Bidding as PrincipalWhen making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment.

Absentee BidsWe will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid.

Telephone BidsOn lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers.

Online BidsWe will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

ReservesSome lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount.

Auctioneer’s DiscretionThe auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive.

Successful BidThe highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.
