History of "Richmont," the Rich family estate on Rt. 105 in Hope, Maine. Purchased in 1991 by singer Don McLean, it is now called by its former name "Lakeview." Built circa 1907, the property was purchased in 1914 by Henry Haven Windsor, a wealthy businessman from Chicago. Upon Windsor's death from influenza, Walter J. Rich, Sr. of New York City bought the 180-acre property in 1924 as a summer home and renamed it "Richmont," and the property remained in the Rich family until 1966.
