As long as he ran it the way he did, they should have given him Farm "Land Use" status, if RI has such a thing, to keep his taxes low. Of the time I spent in RI, I saw a many interesting place, go like this one. As beautiful as it was, I would say the local government was rubbing their hands in glee, knowing that they would be receiving even more tax money in the near future.
All that said, I hope they can find a way to keep that beautiful building. I spent some good time in Barrington years ago and I never knew it was there either.
