Preservation Award Winner: 11 Broadview Road

The house at 11 Broadview Road is the eighth in the WestportNow series of the eight winners of the Historic District Commission 2011 Preservation Awards to be presented in a Town Hall ceremony at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 24. The HDC said: “The owners, Linda and George Googe, of the original 1920s English manor house, loved the character of the house but after a number of years and a growing family, found it too small and lacking in the features needed to accommodate their lifestyle …  The owners worked with architects Grandberg and Associates to totally renovate and reorganize the existing interior spaces and more than double the size of the original house with new construction … This award is made in recognition of the outstanding effort made in preserving and enhancing the essence of the original distinguished house through the design and execution of the renovation and expansion undertaken.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
