Preservation Award Winner: 150 Compo Road North

The Westport Historic District Commission will honor Pamela and Dimitri Vlahakis, owners of 150 Compo Road North (at the corner of Cross Highway), at a Town Hall ceremony Saturday, Sept. 8. The commission is honoring owners of nine Westport properties for their work in rehabilitating, adapting, or preserving structures. The commission is honoring the owners of the house known as the Maj. Allen Chapman/John Marchand House c. 1799 “in recognition of the sensitive and high quality restoration of this 18th century home. The effort to preserve the scale and historic character of this well known landmark is especially important in light of the redevelopment pressures that exist in Westport. At a time when several nearby historic homes have been lost, the Vlahakis’s decision to preserve an important aspect of our heritage is especially praiseworthy.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
