“Transfer of Property—The sale of the Old Fort inn at Kennebunkport, owned and conducted for many years by Ruel W. Norton, marks a property transfer that is of interest to residents throughout York county and especially to summer visitors at the Port, representing nearly every state west of the Mississippi river. Ye Old Fort Inn was built 15 years ago and was one of the finest hotels on the Maine coast. From its opening the house has had a great patronage and its owner operated it very successfully until it was sold, the papers having been passed Dec. 29. The new proprietors are Edwin C. Nevins, the well known attorney of Philadelphia, and Joseph E. Duffield of Camden, N.J.”
