Great view from the cache. If you come early morning you may see seals lounging on the rocks or birds diving for their next meal.
Be careful, muggles in the restaurant may be watching you.
Please place cache back carefully.
Constructed in 1874 by Martin Swift of Bridgewater, the Fairview was one of six Brant Rock Inns that experienced the pinnacle of their success in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Fairview was the last of the six Brant Rock Inns to remain.
The Fairview Inn was originally established as a boarding house for the elite. It became the exclusive and elegant Como Club in the 20's and 30's, offering dining and strolling violinists, as well as gambling at the rear of the building. The Club was named after the ship Como, which ran illegal rum along the coast during Prohibition. Local legend says there used to be a tunnel that ran from the base of the rocks into the basement of the hotel to quickly store the contraband liquor.
The original Fairview Inn building was destroyed by fire on the evening of St. Patrick Day 1998. Living close by, myself and many of the neighbors stood and watched in sadness. In 2000 the Inn was rebuilt, during the excavation of the Fairview’s new foundation, construction crews discovered the site of the closed-off tunnel entrance.
