Shortly after their September 1953 wedding, John and Jakie Kennedy moved into the home in December of 1953, according to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. After serving three terms in the US House, Kennedy had just been elected to the Senate in 1952, according to the presidential library.
