WestportNow Before and After: 1 Darbrook Road

WestportNow presents another in its new series of before and after looks at transformed Westport properties. The 1951-built house at 56 Compo Road North, now known as 1 Darbrook Road, was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on March 24, 2005. Purchased for $1 million by developer John Dumke, the house was demolished on June 22, 2005. The new house on the 1.25-acre lot changed hands in December 2006 for $2,947,500. Dumke, who prefers to restore rather than demolish, photographed the demolition. Click on the photos or arrows to see the transformation. Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
