This was True in 2003.

Explanation:

This plan was in 2003 when Ocean House fell into disrepair. The new Ocean House - created to replicate the original design, with all 247 windows in their original positions and some 5,000 artifacts salvaged from the original-opened in 2010, and in 2012 joined Relais & Châteaux. While the outside retains the look of the old, the rooms inside are modern and far larger. This 152,000-square-foot facility contains a mere 49 rooms and 18 suites. Most have water views.
