“State Sen. Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester, who was one of the most vociferous voices in efforts to save the building, said, “It’s a joy to be here to honor this icon of times past. You gave it your best.”
Tarr noted that many residents had tried to work with federal authorities to preserve the Pink House, but the final answer was demolition.
“We didn’t get the answer we wanted,” Tarr said. “But we did get civic engagement in trying to save it and realizing something bigger than ourselves” was involved in trying to preserve and improve the island.
“What we gained through our effort was more than we lost.””
