Preservation Award Winner: 38 Woodside Ave.

The house at 38 Woodside Ave., in Westport’s Old Hill section, is among nine winners of the Westport Historic District Commission (HDC) 2015 Preservation Awards to be presented in a Town Hall ceremony at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26. The HDC said the award will be presented to Alex Hyman, owner of the vernacular-style house, circa 1850. According to the HDC, Hyman is a member of the third generation of the same family that has owned this property since 1922. This family’s residence began for them when they purchased what was barely a one room cabin 93 years ago. The HDC cited Alex Hyman’s efforts to preserve and enhance his family’s home and is recognized with a preservation award for historic rehabilitation. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
