AT THAT TIMEITHE HOUSE - WAS LITERALLY SAVED FROM SIGNIFICANT CONTR I BUT I ON TO THE SOME DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THEIR COMAN VACATED THE PROPERTY. APPROXIMATELY THREE Q) YEARS. OF THIS PROPERTY WAS-UNDERTAKEN THE PREVIOUS OWNERS, MR. AND MRS. -- PART OF WHICH DATES TO THE 1750S DESTRUCTION. AFTER THIS VERY COMMUNITY, WITH ADVANCING AGE AND PERSONAL SITUATION, MN. AND MFRS. IT LANGUISHED ON THE MARKET FOR IN 19a9, WHEN WE ACOUIRED THE PROPERTY, IT WAS AGAIN ON' THE VERGE OF SERIOUS DECAY AND NEGLECT. IT HAD BEEN VACANT FOR MORE MORE THAN TWO YEARS. RESTORING THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN AN Y. EXTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING. WE ARE SEEKING THE SPECIAL_ PERMIT AT THIS TIME TO FURTHER ESTABLISH THIS PROPERTY AS A VITAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND TO HELP PROTECT IT FROM EVE=R AGAIN FALLING INTO AN ABANDONED AND NEGLECTED STATE. WE BELIEVE=' ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PROPERTY AS A BED AND BREAK AST , MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO REALIZE SOME REVENUE TO HELP SUPPORT THE UPKEEP AND MAINTAINANCE OF THE P'ROP'ERTY, IS ESSENTIAL TO THE FUTURE PRESERVATION OF THIS PROPERTY. FURTHER, THIS IS A MOST APPROPRIATE USE OF THIS PROPERTY AND IN CHARACTER WITH THIS TYPE OF HISTORICAL ESTATE. THE SIZE AND LAYDUT__OF THE STRUCTURE MACE IT VERY AMENABLE TO USE AS A DED AND BREAKFAST. THE SIZE OF THE LOT (6.46 ACRES) MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO ACCOMMODATE PATRONS OF A BED AND BREAKFAST WITHOUT IMPACTING NEGATIVELY-UPON THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR AREA TRAFFIC. FURTHER, THIS PROPERTY AND THIS COMMUNITY ARE THE TYPES OF PROPERTIES AND COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ATTRACTIVE TO BED AND BREAKFAST PATRONS. AND, HISTORICALLY, THIS TYPE OF BED AND BREAKFAST HELP'S COMMUNITIES MAINTAIN THEIR CHARACTER AS WELL.
