The buyers, and current owners, also have a very nice waterfront home in Wolfeboro. They owned J Jill, the clothing company.

I believe the former owner (before 2012) also owned the Cask n' Flagon at Fenway Park. Sometime, about 1993, I noticed about 10 young people on the Center Harbor docks with sleeping bags and knapsacks. They were waiting for boat to pick them up. They said they worked at the Cask N; Flagon and the owner was having an outing at his island, Dollar island. They all climbed into my boat and I gave them a ride out to the island. To thank me, they promised me a free drink at the bar in Boston, which I now remember I never collected. Maybe I should call and see if they would send me the money?
Great info, thank you. I stare out at it every day but didn't know who owned it. It sits vacant a lot during the season.
