The home Jacqueline Kennedy moved into after her husband's assassination is currently on the market for nearly $10million.
The Federal-style mansion on N street in Washington, DC has been owned by years by former Miss America Yolande Betbeze Fox, who passed away in February.
Her family is now selling the home for $9.75million and say that it almost unchanged since the days the former first lady lived there.

Jacqueline Kennedy was with her husband in Dallas when he was shot to death by Lee Harvey Oswald in November 1963.
In the two weeks following her husband's death, Jackie and her children continued to live in the White House. For the winter following the assassination, the family stayed at the home of Averell Harriman, her husband's under secretary of state for political affairs, so that President Lyndon Johnson and his wife could move into the White House.
After the holidays, widowed Mrs Kennedy then bought a home on N Street in Washington, DC, to live in with her son and daughter. It's that home that is currently up for sale.

However, the former first lady only lived in the home for less than a year before relocating her family to Manhattan, wanting privacy from the press and tourists.
The approximately 7,000-square-foot home was built around 1794 and has six bedrooms, in addition to staff quarters. A modern installation is the home's elevator, which helps residents get around the three stories.
Another feature is the cupola at the top of the house with views of the Potomac River.
When the widowed Mrs Kennedy left DC, she sold the home to New Republic publisher Michael Straight.
Straight later lived in the home with his second wife, Nina Auchincloss Steers, who happened to be Jackie's stepsister.
In the 1970s, Straight sold the home to Fox. Her daughter Dolly Fox told the Wall Street Journal that her mother did not make many changes to the home and that it looks today much as it did when Kennedy lived there.
The property is currently being listed by Washington Fine Properties in a 'pocket sale' which means it is not officially on the market.
Georgetown blogger Carol Joynt, who first broke news of the home's sale, described the home as a bit of a fixer upper.
