Preservation Award Winner: 334 Wilton Road

Among the nine properties whose owners have been selected for a Westport Historic District Commission Preservation Award for 2007 is a pump station at Wilton Road and Newtown Turnpike owned by the Aquarion Water Company—the sole commercial winner. The commission, which will present the awards Saturday, Sept. 8 at Town Hall ceremony, said the “decision to use quality materials for this high visibility location speaks volumes about your concern for the community. Resembling a rural 19th century industrial building, this is a truly inspiring example of compatible new construction.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
