Just saw a feature on a news program about King making his Bangor home into an archive/etc. Looked up this news article:
Not sure if this has already been mentioned or not, didn't see it.
I myself would rather have the public also have access to visiting the home. I don't think that would be too bad an idea given the historical significance of the property. I assume though charity events will be held there that may be open to the public. Always loved that property. It is a great piece of real estate, one of the best.
Very surprised the family didn't want to keep it as is. Also surprised a member of his family didn't want to take it over. Again...that is some house. Then again, I suppose maybe the winters were getting to everyone (I assume the family must all be in warmer climes...completely understand that). If you are rich and don't have to physically move snow, winters probably aren't too annoying, but it's still better to be in warmer weather.
Anyway, curious about anyone else's thoughts. Do you think the house will eventually be public-facing (if that is the term I want)? I think this is just the first bid in the evolution of the place...
Stephen and Tabitha King’s iconic Bangor home could house his archive and a writers’ retreat
Before that can happen city officials will need to approve a zone change requested by the Kings.
