Like so many places on the Island, the waterfront property on Lake Tashmoo that recently sold for $6,850,000 has a story to tell. Built in the 1950s as a fishing shack, it sat between the estates of actress Katharine Cornell and oil heiress Helen Pratt Philbin. When the original owner fell on hard times, he offered it to his wealthy neighbors for a hefty sum. They declined, he retaliated by painting the quaint camp an obnoxious blue, and they quickly changed their minds and bought it. Soon after, the property earned the name The Swindle.
When the new owners purchased their 3,954-square-foot home at 966 Main Street, they bought a piece of history.
