lhProperty from the Winter White House
Palm Beach, Florida NO.426
6. 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

7. 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.

8. 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.

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. During the visit, Lady Mary complained how cold her home
was without central heat. 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.

of Boston. He made numerous improvements to the city, was a
patron of the baseball team later known as the Red Sox, and
after his death became the namesake of the Presidential yacht
that John F. 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 Sellers
Evaluation of Property
If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department
at 561.833.8053 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an
appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other
pertinent information, to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and we will be happy
to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large
collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees
for on-site visits may vary.
Standard Commission Rates
Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer
price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; fifteen percent (15%) of the hammer
price on each lot sold for $2,001 or more but less than $5,001; and twenty-five
percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2000 and less with
a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the
reserve price agreed upon between you and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc.,
you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%)
of the reserve price.
Shipping Arrangements
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. can advise you as to how to have your property
delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the
seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Leslie
Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may
recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or
omissions.
Appraisals
Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or
other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact
our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.280.1212 for further information.
Guide for Prospective Buyers
Conditions of Sale
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. encourages all prospective buyers to read the
Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue.
Exhibitions
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. recommends that all prospective buyers attend
the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our

aspect of the bidding process.
Estimates
Leslie 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 at Auction

In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Leslie Hindman
Auctioneers, Inc. a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the

Conditions of Sale
LESLIE HINDMAN AUCTIONEERS, INC. AS AGENT
The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers,
Inc. as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and
conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions
of Sale.
BEFORE THE SALE
Prospective 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 Bidding
A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide
identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references.
Bidding as Principal
When 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 Bids
We 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 Bids
On 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 Bids
We 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.
Reserves
Some 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 Discretion
The 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 Bid
The 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.

security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession
owned by such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have
been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the
case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.
