WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 21 Crescent Road

An application for a permit to demolish the house at Westport’s 21 Crescent Road, off Post Road East, is in process. Built in 1854, the two-story colonial has 1,620-square feet, is situated on a .53-acre property and, according to tax assessor records, last changed ownership in April 2006 for $450,000. 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
