  Its classical stone barns from the height of the Gilded Age and its park-like grounds were acquired by the Town of Portsmouth in the early '90's who, in turn, gave a 25-year old developer named Dan Keating the chance to rescue it from ruins and rehabilitate the property, which thrives today as a vital equestrian and recreational property for the community and the jewel of Portsmouth.
