WestportNow today begins a new feature, “Honoring Our Heritage,” by Bob Weingarten, chair of the Westport Historical Society’s House Research and Plaque Committee and a Realtor with William Raveis Real Estate Company. The series will highlight some of the more than 190 houses in Westport that display the Westport Historical Society plaque. Inaugurating the series is the house at 35 Long Lots Road owned by Deej and Deborah Webb. Their plaque identifies the home as the William J. Nash House built in 1812. Prior to the Webbs purchasing the house in 2002, many notable Westport families lived in this house including the Elwoods, Godfreys, Fresenius, McFarlands and others. Deej Webb, who grew up in an antique house in Westport, and his wife believe that “preservation has to be a top priority” for the town. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Bob Weingarten for WestportNow.com

Nice to see what’s being saved in this town rather than being torn down. I look forward to seeing more of these houses presented here.
Kudos to the Webb’s. This is a wonderful idea for a new feature. Although I grew up in Hales Court the older lovely colonial houses in Westport were what Westport was all about I always dreamed of owning one someday. Never happened but that’s ok. At least I can still appreciate them here.
Homes like this one preserve and enhance the character of our town. Congratulations to the Webb’s for being wonderful stewards of this home.
Love to see these houses around town. Thank you Webbs.
I met the Webbs at some talk at the Westport Historical Society about old homes, and I was struck by how much they loved the town and their home and really knew so many facts about it. This lovely young couple is a real credit to our community! Thanks, Deej and Deborah
