All Gone: 84 Wilton Road

There is a new and temporarily less obstructed view of Westport’s downtown and Gorham Island since the demolition of the house at 84 Wilton Road, next to the offices of Save the Children. Built in 1929, the two-story house had 3,546 square feet and was situated on this .6-acre waterfront property. (It was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on Sept. 6, 2009) Gail Olson, marketing manager for New Canaan-based Olson Development said that the new house will be “geothermal with lots of green elements and use the newest in bio-degradable materials for erosion control.” She added, “We’re one of the first of the riverside properties like that.”  According to Olson, the new house will be a traditional style and 5,000 square feet in size.
