The Westport Historic District Commission today honored the owners of nine Westport properties for their efforts in rehabilitating, adapting, or preserving structures. One of the winners at the Town Hall ceremony told the moving tale of acquiring their house from a longtime resident, giving him a life tenancy to live in a building on the property, and being with him as he died in the house where he was born.

People always ask what can be done to slow the McMansion teardown philosophy that seems so prevalent today. These people have demonstrated the value of preservation of historic homes. Thanks to the Historic District Commission and to Gordon Josloff for recognizing these winners. Also thanks to Dave Matlow for drawing our attention to the teardowns and the preservationists through his great photos on this web site. As one winner stated, these historic homes are like public art for all of Westport to experience.
