Preservation Award Winner: 7 Canal St.

WestportNow presents the third installment in a series of photos of the 10 winners of the Historic District Commission 2008 Preservation Awards to be handed out in a Town Hall ceremony at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20. The house at 7 Canal St. is owned by John and Amy Chaple. HDC officials said: “This award is being given in recognition of your considerable efforts to preserve the George Cable House (c. 1850). Appropriate window replacement, extensive repair of clapboard, soffit, facia, and the balustrade on the wrapping verandah all contribute to renewed structural integrity of this handsome Italianate house.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
