Ok, I know it was a big thing back in the 80's and before and burned down, and Buffett went back in 1991, but is there anywhere to find a more detailed history of Autour Du Roche? also who currently owns it and why there has not been a serious attempt to rebuild it.

I stumbled around/through the "ruins" back in 1993. What was left definately wasn't "rebuildable" Very cool location though...somebody probably has built a nice estate on it by now. I recall at one time that David Letterman owned the property.

Perhaps our friends at St. Bart's Insiders Guide know more details?
