Jodi and Ernest Perno are honoring Westport’s heritage by displaying a Westport Historical Society plaque identifying their 106 Easton Road home as the John H. Adams house which was built in 1875. Adams was the owner of the Coleytown mill. Subsequent to Adams owning the house, a nationally famous sculptor and illustrator named J. Clinton Shepherd owned the house. “We purchased our home due to the architectural significance – also we were awestruck by the beautiful grounds,” said Ernest Perno “Its ambience is absolutely charming.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Bob Weingarten for WestportNow.com
Nicole and Dan Donovan are honoring Westport’s heritage by displaying a Westport Historical Society plaque identifying the original part of their 9 Greenbrier Road home (small stone house on the left side of photo with three dormers) as being architected by Frazier Peters which was built in 1930. Peters, a Westport resident during the 1920s and 1930s, was well known for his design of stone houses using a poured concrete and stone technique that he developed. It is said that he built 10 stone houses in Westport. The Donovans, who had lived in Fairfield before returning to Westport where they both grew up, said they were impressed how Coastal Construction Group of Westport and partner Jeff Cook had honored the original house designed by Peters by adding to it in kind, carefully matching the Peters stonework. Parents Mollie and Jack Donovan gave them the Westport Historical Society plaque as a gift. Mollie, co-chair of the Society’s Exhibit Committee, was aware that the Society provided plaques commemorating key events or people associated with a house even if the house is less than 100 years old. So after the house was identified as being architected by Peters, a plaque was authorized and ordered for a Christmas gift. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Bob Weingarten for WestportNow.com
