John Castle, CEO of private-equity firm Castle Harlan Inc., shelled out nearly $11 million to buy and renovate the Kennedy clan's former beachfront estate in Palm Beach, Fla. The project, which included adding bathrooms No. 14 and 15, required 300 inspections.
私募股权投资公司Castle Harlan Inc.的首席执行长卡斯尔(John Castle)花了近1,100万美元购买和翻修曾属于肯尼迪(Kennedy)家族、位于佛罗里达州棕榈滩(Palm Beach)的一处海滨豪宅。翻修工程包括增建14号和15号卫生间,需要接受300项检查。
President John F. Kennedy wrote his inaugural address at the 14,500-square foot mansion, called the Winter White House during his term. Mr. Castle kept the same unlisted phone number that JFK had used there.
肯尼迪总统(John F. Kennedy)曾在这幢占地14,500平方英尺(约合1350平方米)的豪宅里起草就职演说稿,这座大宅在肯尼迪总统任期内被称为“冬季白宫(Winter White House)。卡斯尔保留了肯尼迪当年使用的非公开电话号码。
America's historical housing stock depends on owners like Messrs. Castle, Carr and Callan continuing to see more upside than headache. 'The bulk of historic houses in America are preserved by virtue of the private individuals who own them,'' said Tom Mayes, deputy general counsel at the National Trust for Historic Preservation. 'They feel the connection that place brings.''
美国的历史建筑市场依靠的是卡斯尔、卡尔和卡伦这样的房主,目前的行情仍然是以上行势头为主导。美国国家历史保护信托(National Trust for Historic Preservation)副总法律顾问梅斯(Tom Mayes)称:“美国的大批历史建筑都是由私人房主负责保护的,他们能感受到与这些建筑之间的紧密联系。
