Preservation Award: 215 Post Road West

WestportNow presents the sixth installment in a series of photos of the 10 winners of the Historic District Commission 2008 Preservation Awards to be handed out in a Town Hall ceremony at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20. The building at 215 Post Road West is owned by Michael Calise and is the sole commercial property for which a 2008 Preservation Award is to be presented. HDC officials said, “The Col. Partridge House (c. 1910) has had the fortune of responsible ownership. Previous alterations to the original home were appropriately scaled, enhancing the Georgian-style architecture.  Your recent work, including stone retaining walls and painting are noteworthy improvements. Thanks to your sensitivity to this gracious building, the residential feel of the property is retained and it remains as a revered Westport landmark building.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
