Going Down: 5 Forest Drive

The house at 5 Forest Drive off Westport’s Old Road was demolished Saturday. Built in 1952, the one-story ranch had 1,656 square feet, was situated on a 1.05-acre property and changed ownership in October 2008 for $825,000. It is Westport’s first residential demolition in more than two months, a reflection of the continued slowdown in the economy.  It was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on April 8, 2009.
