Easton B&B, circa 1790, hits market for $1.3M

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — The historic Bartlett Pear Inn in Easton, Maryland is on the market for $1.295 million.

The home was built in 1790 and is currently being operated as a bed and breakfast.

The Inn, at 28 Harrison St. South in the center of town and near Easton’s shops and restaurants, is listed by Long & Foster/Christie’s International Real Estate.

The eight-bedroom home, with seven full and two half bathrooms, is just over 10,250 square feet and has been operating as an inn for 10 years, though the listing agents say it could also be converted to a private residence.

Architectural details include Federal-style design, including original wainscoting, millwork mantels and hardwood floors.

The dining room overlooks a patio and garden, and the inn includes several public rooms, including a main level parlor with gas fireplace and screened-in porch.

Seven en suite bedrooms are on the upper levels, some with private sitting rooms. There is also a space currently being used as a spa.

The inn, which doubles as an event and wedding venue, is being sold fully furnished.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
