The Captain Willis House as it is today.
The Planning Board has voted to send a favorable advisory to the Zoning Board on the application of John and Blakely Stinebaugh, of Old Greenwich, Conn. to demolish the home known as the Captain Willis House on Corn Neck Road, and to build a new single-family dwelling and accessory structure.
The home was originally built in 1860, and has at times, been operated as a bed and breakfast. It is part of a cluster of at least four homes built by members of the Willis family, including the Breakers, across the street. The Stinebaughs purchased the property in March of 2020 for $1,325,000. It was last sold in 2004 for $1,464,300 and extensively renovated in 2005.

Sniffen, for instance, is working with Facilities Manager Sam Bird, and Lemon is in the Town Clerk’s office. Sniffen said he has been taking online courses and seminars to receive certification in coaching.
