Just a few years ago a simple white cottage sat on this property at the intersection of Route 1 and 90 in Rockport, just across from the very delicious Market Basket.
Then magic happened. An artist who knows a bit about human nature took up residence. He painted it a very bright yellow, not in tune with the Rockport vibe.
Well, everyone noticed and his art was noticed. He moved on, perhaps for a nice price, and a very adventurous winery bought it for their showroom. (You might need to be adventurous to own a winery in Maine.) To get the community into the spirt of renovation, they sold off squares on the building for people to paint before the renovation began. Fun idea.
Amazing the impact of a can of paint. (PR lesson noted.) Anybody know what color Cellardoor will paint their new building? Or if they’re coming out with a new line of paints? What will be next? Maybe they should run a contest, or . . .
