Two Ringo Starr residences, one recent and one long ago, are in the news. The Liverpool brick home the Beatles drummer was born in remains at the center of a controversy over a development that would demolish it along with more than 400 other structures (story). The city's Communities Secretary is now considering a requirement that the homes targeted for demolition during the project be offered for sale before final approval is given for any to be torn down.
The other Starr home is not in any peril. The single story, 3 bed room home with frontage on the Roaring Fork River near the winter playground of Aspen, Colorado is on the market for $4.5 million. The 3,200 square foot house and 16 acres near the compound formerly owned by writer Hunter Thompson has been owned by the drummer and wife Barbara Bach for almost 20 years.
