Westport September Demolitions Highest in Six Years

Maybe we should call it the WestportNow Teardown Index, but the September just concluded saw 13 demolitions in Westport—the highest one-month total since WestportNow Associate Editor Dave Matlow started counting in 2005. This was the aftermath of the demolition this week of 3 Great Marsh Road in the Saugatuck Shores across from the entrance to the Saugatuck Harbor Yacht Club, Built in 1934, the 1 1/2-story conventional-style house had 1,701 square feet, was situated on a 1.11-acre property and changed ownership in August 2011 for $1,136,174. It was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on June 30, 2008. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
