Going Down: 10 West End Ave.

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.
