UPDATE Members of the Gault family watched the demolition today of Westport Florist, 553 Riverside Ave., to make way for the Saugatuck Center development. The building was the location of the Gault coal and oil offices when it moved there in 1923 from its prior location at 15 Riverside Ave., according to Bill Gault. Westport Florist moved across the street to 580 Riverside Ave. where it continues to be operated by Paul and Sheila Hefferan as it has been for 21 years.
