Honoring Our Heritage: 10 Cedar Road

The owners of the house at 10 Cedar Road are the newest recipients of a Westport Historical Society (WHS) historical plaque. Bob Weingarten, WHS plaque historian, presented the plaque to owners Nathalie Jacob and her husband Simon Gilbert. According to Weingarten, the deed for the house says it was built in 1928 by Jennie Lucas who was assessed that year for a single dwelling assessed at $4,000. The Colombia-born Jacob and British-born Gilbert family purchased the house last year, having relocated from Norwalk. Weingarten said all research material was obtained from publicly available sources and his granddaughter, Samantha Godwin, 15, a rising junior at Weston High School, assisted in the research process.
