COHASSET, Mass. — The oceanside playground of the Barrons and Bancrofts, heirs to the Dow Jones and Wall Street Journal fortunes, is for sale. The 20,000-square-foot mansion with 45 rooms and 9.4 surrounding acres carries an asking price of $55 million. It includes a marina, a restaurant and the Cohasset Harbor Inn, about 20 miles south of Boston. Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and other entertainers visited the estate — with its English-style pub in the basement and sweeping harbor views — when they played at the nearby South Shore Music Circus in the venue’s heyday. The mansion itself accounts for about half the $55 million asking price. The Associated Press
