WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 535 Post Road East

A site application proposal includes discussion of a demolition of the house at Westport’s 535 Post Road East, near the Westport Fire Department. Built in 1900, the one-and-a-half-story house previously converted to a store front. It is situated on a 1.61-acre property leased by Terrain, which opened in 2011. The company, which earlier said it would preserve the house, now is proposing to demolish it to provide additional parking. The application will be reviewed by the Westport Historic District Commission at its Tuesday meeting. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
