Just about a century ago, when Katharine Hepburn was 5, her father discovered this place in Fenwick, Connecticut.
And for just about a century, until her death there in June 2003, her home in Fenwick remained "paradise" to her -- perhaps all the more after a hurricane swept the original house out to sea. The young actress, then in her early 30s, and the rest of her family set to fashioning a new dream home, first from toy F.A.O. Schwarz building blocks and then, when they'd agreed on a plan, from the stolid brick that still stands today.
