Going Down: 10 Cranbury Road
The house at 10 Cranbury Road, near the Westport-Norwalk town line, was demolished today. Built in 1955, the 1-3/4 story Cape Cod-style house had 2,014 square feet and was situated on a 1.42-acre property. It was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on Nov. 16, 2008. As a measurement of a constricted real estate economy, this is only the second demolition of a Westport house in 2009. In 2005 through 2007 an average of approximately 100 houses were demolished each year. That figure dropped to 65 in 2008. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Honoring Our Heritage: 109 Kings Highway North
Catherine and Bill Ryan are honoring Westport’s heritage by displaying a Westport Historical Society plaque identifying their home as the Holzhausen house which was built in 1910. The Holzhausen family lived in this house for 35 years and then sold it to the Manning family who lived in the house also for 35 years. The Ryans purchased the house in 1983 and said that they “appreciate the efforts of those who commit the time, resources and care to preserve our older homes in Westport.” In September 1998, their home was included in the Kings Highway North Historic District.

Honoring Our Heritage: 15 Sprucewood Lane
Mary C. McGuire and James J Dolan, Jr. are honoring Westport’s heritage by displaying a Westport Historical Society plaque identifying their home at 15 Sprucewood Lane as the Daniel Bradley house which was built in c.1830. Several generations of the Bradley family owned a 75-acre farm where the house was built. The current owners purchased the house in 1986 and said “we both love antique homes and enjoy the opportunity to restore and protect a piece of Westport’s history.” This is the second antique home they lived in within Westport—the prior one was at 125 Weston Road. The couple said that they were “heartbroken with the senseless destruction of beautiful antique homes in Westport” and hoped others will join then in restoring antique homes rather then tearing down and rebuilding.
