David and Stacy Newton offered a million and a half for the islandHC17 and bought it at the Clark Plywood counter offer of two-and-a-half million to build their dream home - an English windmill. Previously unnamed, the island became known as Windmill Island.HC18

The building of the Newton's windmill is a significant thread in Hannegan's Cove .

Susan Langenderfer-McMahon accompanied Randy Clark early one morning to photograph a hot air balloon used as a crane to lift windmill sails in to place. She wrote a feature for the Record-Herald to accompany the pictures.SU11 Susan also visited for the open house when the windmill was complete and wrote a follow-up feature.SU25
