Hickory Hill, Historic estate in McLean, United States

The brick mansion features Georgian architecture with multiple rooms, swimming pools, and tennis courts spread across 5.6 acres of land in Virginia.

The property became a center of political and social gatherings during the Kennedy era, hosting numerous influential figures and family celebrations.

Located at 1147 Chain Bridge Road, the estate stands as a contributing property to the Langley Fork Historic District since 1982.

John F. Kennedy wrote his Pulitzer Prize-winning book 'Profiles in Courage' while residing at this residence in 1955.
