Gallery: Building Westport One LEGO at a Time

A Westport Historical Society event, “Come Build Westport –- One LEGO at a Time,” was held today at Branson Hall at Christ & Holy Trinity Church. Participants -– 45 children helped by 37 parents and friends—were invited to use 75,000 LEGO blocks to construct 22 Westport buildings, which were then laid out on a large Westport map. The program was designed by award-winning architect Stephen W. Schwartz and sponsored by Karen Berkemeyer Home, a kitchen and bath design firm located at 175 Post Road West, Westport. Said Schwartz: “The goal is to make the public aware of the town’s rich architectural heritage, so that when they are out and about they might notice the design features that make some of Westport’s buildings notable.” Larry Untermeyer for WestportNow.com
