Honoring Our Heritage: 10 & 11 Maplewood Ave.

The newest recipients of an historical plaque from the Westport Historical Society (WHS) are the owners of two homes on Maplewood Avenue. The Ackerman family, George, Emily and their daughter, Sophie, 1, owners of the house at 10 Maplewood Ave., now known as the Walsh House, built circa 1927, and Fiona Hodgson, owner of the house across the street at 11 Maplewood Ave., now known as the Mary Walsh House, built circa 1911. Bob Weingarten, WHS plaque historian, presented a plaque to owners. According to Weingarten’s historical research, the land on which the two houses were built was, prior to 1910, part of a 24-acre farmland owned by the Morehouse family.
