Teardown of the Day: 5 Wakeman Place

An application for a permit to demolish the house at Westport’s 5 Wakeman Place, off Imperial Avenue, is in process. Built in 1928, the two-story colonial has 1,705 square feet, is situated on a .34-acre property,  and, according to assessor records, last changed ownership in February 1993 for $228,000. Because the house was built more than 50 years ago, the application will be reviewed by the Westport Historic District Commission.  (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
