1950s-1963?
The Carlyle Hotel
Madison and 76th Streets
New York City, New York
(Several suites used by Kennedy family, and often used by JFK and Jackie while in New York, Jackie stayed here while her new 1040 Fifth Ave., apartment was being renovated in 1964)


1961-1963
Glen Ora
Middleburg, Virginia
(Leased by Kennedys)

Soon after the inauguration, Jackie made a conscious effort to establish a life for herself and her children that was independent of politics and the White House. She requested a house in the country where she could take Caroline and John. The family leased a house near Middleburg, Virginia, called Glen Ora, about an hour outside of Washington, D.C. On average, she and the children would spend two long weekends a month there. Although Jackie always looked glamorous and energetic during her public appearances, she was frail and vulnerable. Her long recovery from her difficult pregnancy and the stress of moving into the White House combined with the constant media scrutiny took its toll on her physically and emotionally. jacqueline-kennedy
