(NECN: Kristen Carosa) – James Knott looks over the Oakhurst Conference and Retreat Center in Whitinsville, Mass.
The Northbridge, Mass. man says he bought the property from the Diocese of Worcester for $800,000.
“I brought the building when it became available because, in my opinion, it’s an important piece of history,” Knott says.
But along with history comes controversy.
James Fairbanks and Allain Beret of Sutton say they were discriminated against by the Diocese when they tried to purchase the property.
