Page and John Englehart are honoring Westport’s heritage by displaying a Westport Historical Society plaque identifying their home at 90 Myrtle Ave. as the David Salmon Carriage House-Barn.
The Westport Historical Society plaque for 90 Myrtle Ave. turned out to be a warmly welcomed Christmas present. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Bob Weingarten for WestportNow.com
Salmon built the carriage house and barn in 1869 several years after purchasing the main house at 96 Myrtle Ave. from The Rev. and Mrs. Timothy Atkinson in 1864.
The Engleharts were happy to find their roots in an antique home in 2000 after living for 15 years in Asia and Europe. They had been researching the built date of their home when they saw the image of their home on an 1878 map displayed in the Public Works Department office of Town Hall.
Using this information to confirm that their home was at least built by 1878, the Engleharts approached the Westport Historical Society to request further information.
Workers today cleared out the remains of the house that was demolished at 9 Silver Brook Road, off Easton Road in Westport’s Coleytown section. The two-story colonial had 3,172 square feet, was situated on a one-acre property and was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on Aug. 8, 2009. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
