Honoring Our Heritage: 441 Main St.

The newest recipients of an historical plaque from the Westport Historical Society (WHS) are the owners of the 1923-built house, now known as the Nicola Geremia House, at 441 Main St,. Peter and Diana Barnes. Bob Weingarten, WHS house plaque historian, presented the plaque. The Australian-born Barnes family, who lived in Westport since 1995, purchased and moved into the Geremia house in 2001.  Diana said, “one reason we were attracted to this house is that it resembled an 1840-built farm house we lived in in Bridgehampton, Long Island. This house had a similar feel—simple and not grandiose.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
