Honoring Our Heritage: 15 Crooked Mile Road

The owners of the house at 15 Crooked Mile Road are the newest recipients of a Westport Historical Society (WHS) historical plaque. The 1929-built house, known as the Horace W. Paine House, was once owned by the late Julian Brodie who was instrumental in the purchase of Longshore Club Park in 1959. Bob Weingarten, WHS plaque historian, presented the plaque to Joel and Carol Davis who purchased the house from Brodie in 1965 and have lived there since then. Longtime Westporters, the Davises raised their three sons in the house, each graduating from Staples High School. Carol Davis is a past officer of the PTA and the Westport Historical Society. Joel Davis has long been active at the Westport Library and currently serves as chair of its advisory council. According to Weingarten, the house was built by Paine who, with james B. Pikeman, purchased the undeveloped property on Sept. 4, 1928. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
