Preservation Award Winner: 3 Evergreen Ave.

The Westport Historic District Commission will honor Rondi Charleston and Steven Ruchefsky, owners of the house at 3 Evergreen Ave., known as the Jauncey-Coley House c. 1835, at a Town Hall ceremony Sept. 8. The commission is honoring owners of nine Westport properties for their work in rehabilitating, adapting, or preserving structures. The commission said 3 Evergreen Ave. was recognized “in recognition of the owners’ successful expansion of this Stick-style landmark structure in a way that respects its architectural significance. The discrete use of period appropriate detailing on the addition serves to further integrate the new with the old. The owners successfully met the challenge of creating more space for present day living which is a challenge that owners of historic buildings face.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
