Going Down: 12 Danbury Ave.

The house at Westport’s 12 Danbury Ave. in the Compo Beach neighborhood, was demolished Thursday.  Built in 1920, the one-story bungalow had 1,248 square feet, was situated on a .11-acre property and was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on March 23, 2010.  Los Angeles area residents Rikki Gordon and her husband Allen Pack, owners of the house, said it was the summer home of Rikki’s grandparents—Irving and Mildred Hillelson—and her parents—Arline and Irving Gordon—for 58 years. The property’s legacy will remain with the family descendants as the couple plans to build a new house on the site so they can come to Westport frequently and stay for extended periods.
