WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 17 Stony Point Road

A permit has been issued by the Westport Building Dept to demolish the house at 17 Stony Point Road. The 1957-built two-story contemporary is on a 1-acre waterfront property. The owner said that “we’re keeping the foundation and rebuilding it as an up-to-date house with many ‘green’ features that fit in beautifully with its site on the river.” The home was the longtime home of the late Ralph Sheffer, a well known Westporter and former moderator of the Representative Town Meeting.
