WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 185 Compo Road S.

An application for a permit to demolish the house at Westport’s 185 Compo Road South is in process. Built in 1900, the two-story conventional has 2,936-square feet, is situated on a .61-acre property and, according to town assessor records, last changed ownership in August 2005 for $960,000. 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
