WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 100 Post Road East

An application for a permit to demolish the building at Westport’s 100 Post Road East, is in process. Built in 1960 by Westport Bank & Trust Co., the one-story bank drive-in has 474 square feet and is situated on a .42-acre property. Town records show that Lafayette American Bank, which took over the property from Westport Bank & Trust Co., occupied it from 1997 to 1999, then Hudson United from 1999 to 2006, then TDBankNorth from 2006 to 2010 when it was purchased by its present owner. Although the structure was built more than 50 years ago, the application will not be reviewed by the Westport Historic District Commission because it is under 500 square feet.
