WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 20-26 Morningside Drive South

An application for a permit to demolish three residential structures at Westport’s 26 and 20 Morningside Drive South is in process. The main house, built in 1853, a two-story antique has 2,664-square feet and is situated on a 2.37-acre property. A second structure, a one-story contemporary barn, previously used as an artists’ studio by its prior owners Walter and Naiad Einsel, was built in 1970.  Because the main house was built more than 50 years ago, the application will be reviewed by the Westport Historic District Commission.
