In 1986, the Ames Hill Castle was purchased by local developer John D. Sullivan; Sullivan then illegally converted the house into a multi-unit rental property. However, Sullivan has been subject to several court rulings for zoning violations on the property, including one in 1991 and again in 1999. In August 2010, Sullivan's attorney brought forth a proposal to Tewksbury's <a href="/wiki/Board_of_selectmen" class="mw-redirect" title="Board of selectmen">board of selectmen</a> for modifications to the Ames Hill Castle, to fall under the <a href="/wiki/Massachusetts_Comprehensive_Permit_Act:_Chapter_40B" title="Massachusetts Comprehensive Permit Act: Chapter 40B">Massachusetts Comprehensive Permit Act: Chapter 40B</a>, which would allow him to maintain the property as a multi-unit rental legally. The board elected unanimously to table the proposal, citing several concerns – both with Sullivan's absence (as he had sent his attorney rather than present the proposal in person) and reluctance to meet with residents, and his previous legal issues with the property.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In March 2012, the Ames Hill Castle was unanimously voted "preferably preserved" by the Tewksbury Historic Commission due to its unique architectural features, the current state of preservation, and its association with General Ames.
