Their fears were, of course, unfounded -- even though cottages then cost a minimum of $500.00. James McFadden had anticipated the appeal of Newport when he bought 1,000 acres of land for $1.00 an acre in 1892. In that year he also plotted the township, leased lots for $12.00 to $18.00 a year, and built an ocean front hotel."
