I think maybe two stories are getting mixed up. Bill Marriott was fueling his boat and caught his boathouse one fire. The boathouse was right next to Brophy's boathouse and caught their boathouse one fire. They had to be rebuilt.

The other boathouse of Marriott's which was in a several year lawsuit with the state was remodeled, nothing to do with the fire. They took out a boatslip and made it part of the living quarters (part of the kitchen) and that was the issue along with some wetlands issues. Because the boathouse had previously been living quarters ( for the chauffeur), there wasn't a problem with remodeling it, but they could not expand it. They lost to the state and had to tear out the kitchen.
