to those who like to keep the classic lake houses! My family had a lake house that was originally a brakeman house on the Lake Shore Railroad. It was added on and made into a family cottage in 1892. The trust can no longer keep up with the taxes and had to sell. The new owner, a doctor from Methuen, tore the old structure down despite pleas from the town. Needless to say, the new Mcmansion violated wetland laws and zoning as well as angry neighbors.
