La Querida (mansion)
La Querida (mansion)

La Querida ("the dear one"), also known as Castillo del Mar ("castle by the sea") for several years, is a residence in Palm Beach, Florida, located at 1095 N. Ocean Boulevard. Completed in 1923, it was built in the Mediterranean Revival-style by well-known architect Addison Mizner at a cost of $50,000. The home is most notable for serving as the "Winter White House" during the presidency of John F. Kennedy. As of 2015, La Querida contains over 15,000 sq ft (1,400 m2) of living space, including eleven bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, and three half-bathrooms. Originally constructed for department store fortune heir Rodman Wanamaker, the prominent Kennedy family owned La Querida for more than 60 years, often using the residence as a winter retreat. As president-elect of the United States, John F. Kennedy prepared most of his inaugural address, appointed some cabinet officials, and nearly faced an assassination attempt at La Querida. During Kennedy's presidency, he held a few official meetings at the home, including a discussion on the Alliance for Progress in 1963, less than a week before his assassination. Thereafter, La Querida occasionally became associated with some drinking incidents involving Senator Ted Kennedy and the 1991 rape trial of William Kennedy Smith. La Querida has been owned by a few other notable individuals since the Kennedy family sold the property in 1995, including businessman John K. Castle and real estate investor Jane Goldman. The current owners are Carl (founder of Panattoni Development Company) and Mary Jane Panattoni, who purchased the home in June 2020 for $70 million.
