Whether "Sea Urchins" is ...Titanic Bill. Whether "Sea Urchins" is still standing is a matter of interpretation. It now belongs to the College of the Atlantic, whose favored architect at the time gave it a 'renovation' that was about as unneessarily thorough as can be imagined. Wings torn off, interiors completely replanned and gutted. Public opinion wanted it saved, tney wasnted something else, this was the result. Sad. Very sad.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-31993719643766478002016-11-06T13:09:38.871-08:002016-11-06T13:09:38.871-08:00Dilettante:

Although they had a place in Tuxedo---which was more a weekend/fall/winter resort, the Rogers's also summered in Bar Harbor for most of their marriage. And after her marriage to Victor Loew, they purchased "Sea Urchins", which under it's first owner, the authoress Constance Cary Harrison, was one of the social epicenters of that resort. The Loews enlarged and renovated "Sea Urchins" and remained there until Mr. Loew's death.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.com
