Preservation Award Winner: 100 Hillspoint Road

Among the eight winners of the Historic District Commission 2011 Preservation Awards to be presented in a Town Hall ceremony at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 24 is the house at 100 Hillspoint Road.The HDC said: “In an environment where it would most likely have fallen to a developer’s ambitious plan for another huge new house, they (owners Carolyn and Joseph Wilkinson) appreciated the character and scale of the existing structure.  They undertook what evolved into a challenging renovation but the result of that effort is the sensitive preservation of this nice example of the early fabric of Westport.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
