The house at 10 West End Ave. in Westport’s Saugatuck area was demolished today. The Interfaith Housing Association, the owner, plans to rebuild on the site to provide transitional housing for homeless people. Built in 1900. the two-story, conventional-style structure occupied 2,546 square feet and is situated on a .31 acre lot. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Sept. 22 at 11 a.m. IHA received several community grants for the project—including from the Westport Rotary Club and the Westport Sunrise Rotary Club—and these grants led to the house being named the Rotary Centennial House.

Almost four years after WestportNow first spotlighted the planned teardown of the circa 1800 Abel Bradley House at 131 Sturges Highway on the Westport-Fairfield line, the renovated structure is on the market for $3,695,000. Workers today were putting final touches on the 7,168-square foot colonial on a 2.7-acre plot in advance of a broker’s open house Thursday. A protracted battle between preservationists and developers that drew national attention ended with the saving of the house and incorporating it in the new home. The developers received a Westport Historic District Commission Preservation Award for their efforts to preserve the structure.
