Manor Inn Owners: "We have an
accepted offer."
by Judy Silberstein
( December 3, 2002
) “We have an accepted offer, we’re going
to contract,” said Christine Bolton, one of the
sisters who own the Manor Inn.
However, there is no date set for executing the contract.
The family is continuing to apply to the Planning Commission
for permits required to demolish the inn and redevelop
the site. In addition, said Mrs. Bolton, “If this
deal doesn’t go through, my sister will be running
the inn with a full restaurant.”
Currently, though, she is not interested in dealing
with the Steering Committee for the Preservation of
the Manor Inn. “If they really wanted it, they
would have bought it by now,” she commented. Though
she was not willing to discuss the amount of the accepted
offer, she did say, “$2.5 million is not a lot
of money for this area.”
At the last Village Board meeting on November 19, a
contingent of Larchmont residents, many of them elderly,
made a plea for assistance in maintaining the Manor
Inn as a residence for moderate income senior citizens.
(See: "No
Demolition Permit Yet: All Parties Continue Pursuing
Solutions for Manor Inn") The current residents
of the inn are mostly elderly, but Mrs. Bolton maintains
that very few of her clients are from Larchmont.
This week, the Steering Committee issued a press
release stressing that they “remain firmly
committed to making every effort to purchase, preserve,
renovate and operate the Inn as a facility for our independent
senior citizens.”
