March 9, 2008John F. Kennedy Library and Museum, Columbia Point, Dorchester, Boston
This building, designed by I.M. Pei and dedicated by Jimmy Carter and the Kennedy Family in 1979, overlooks Dorchester Bay on the campus of the University of Massachusetts - Boston. This building, when constructed, was way ahead of its time, and many are surprised to hear that it is a product of the 1970s. A giant American flag hangs from the glass ceiling in this atrium. A Profiles in Courage Award, given in 2002, is located in the corner shown above. The museum, which features partial replicas of the Oval Office and hallways of the White House, and library are located in an adjacent section of the building.
