A billionaire is tearing down David Rockefeller Sr.’s home on Mount Desert Island to make way for something new.
Danaher Corporation co-founder Mitchell Rales bought the 14.8-acre Ringing Point property for $19 million in January 2018, a year after Rockefeller died at the age of 101.
The Bangor Daily News says a limited liability corporation that owns the home has obtained a demolition permit.
The seven-bedroom house was designed in 1972 by Rockefeller’s wife, Peggy.
The property is in Seal Harbor, which is part of the town of Mount Desert.
