This is a cracking article about the former home of Veronica Lake and Joseph McCarthy (Saratoga County up-state New York) that had fallen into disrepair.
Chandler Atkins has started to restore the abandoned property "as a tribute to McCarthy Jr. and Lake." to educate on the history of the area and celebrate this little piece of forgotten Hollywood glamour.
"...few remember seeing Lake, who used to wave to fans as she drove through the village in her convertible.
But now, thanks to one local businessman, the town’s long-lost Hollywood allure will, at least in part, be memorialized.
Chandler Atkins, owners of The Elms Waterfront Cottages and Lodge and River Ridin’, is restoring the long-abandoned home and its barns as a tribute to McCarthy Jr. and Lake."
