The owners of the house at 21 Clinton Ave. are the newest recipients of an historical plaque by the Westport Museum for History and Culture, formerly the Westport Historical Society. Bob Weingarten (r), house historian and plaque coordinator, presented the plaque, identified as the Samuel Gilbertie House, c. 1915, to the Block family.
