JFK home renovation castoffs are transformed into art


HYANNIS PORT -- What once were pieces of John F. Kennedy's home are now pieces of art. The house gradually fell into disrepair, prompting current owners Ted Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Kiki, to undertake a major structural renovation in 2011. "The thought was to take advantage of the extensive art community on Cape Cod," said John Allen, executive director of the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, about 2 miles from the compound. "It took me a while to take in that these were artifacts from the Kennedys," said Neal, who was 8 when JFK died. Recently unveiled, the pieces will be showcased at various spots around the Cape, then auctioned off in August, with proceeds going toward another renovation, that of the museum.
