Preservation Award Winner: 187 Long Lots Road

Among the eight winners of the Historic District Commission 2009 Preservation Awards to be presented in a Town Hall ceremony at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12 is the house at 187 Long Lots Road. Owned by Morgan (“Dutch”) and Susan Wynkoop, it is known as the John Osborn House, c. 1683-1687. It has been in the Wynkoop family since 1971. The HDC said,“The small red colonial dwelling that sits proudly on Long Lots Road is quite likely to be the oldest house in Westport.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
