Rockefeller getaway gets facelift

Restoration work is under way on oil tycoon William Rockefeller's Jekyll Island winter getaway. Indian Mound is the most famous of the historic Jekyll Island cottages. It was built in 1892, and this is the first facelift since the 1990s. The island held winter homes for some of America's wealthiest industrialists before the state of Georgia bought it in 1947.
