Over the years, the property was sold several times. The last sale took place in August when the MacNeils purchased the building from Bostonian Rick Umlah. The 46-year-old entrepreneur has long carried creative desires. In 2011, she self-published a coffee table art book that she entitled “twentythree." She then moved on to establish a Cape Breton-themed line of clothing, calendars featuring her own photography and other products including cards and photographs of local scenes displayed on a Cape Breton-shaped background.
