Rare Opportunity to Tour Bedford Estate

Today was the last day of a three-day estate sale at the Westport waterfront home of the late Ruth Bedford. The daughter of Frederick T. and Lucie Thomas Bedford and the last surviving grandchild of Westport philanthropist Edward T. Bedford died in June at age 99. (See WestportNow June 19, 2014) In addition to an opportunity to buy furniture, books, and other family belongings of Bedford, the sale afforded the public a rare opportunity to tour the 7.5-acre estate on Beachside Avenue, which had been on the market until recently for $25 million.
