Consistent comfort at the Norton Residence all summer long

摘要

The Norton Residence is the most famous house on Martha's Vineyard. Built in 1891 by Philip Corbin, manufacturing tycoon, it was the most extravagant summer mansion in the town of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. After 100 years of neglect, it was bought in 1991 by Peter Norton, the computer soft ware pioneer, and carefully restored to its former glory through a meticulous restoration. During a fierce winter storm in February of 2001, the home burned to the ground due to an electrical fire. It was then completely rebuilt in 2006 as an exact replica of the original home with the addition of air conditioning.
