WestportNow Teardown of the Day: 785 Post Road East

An application for a permit to demolish the house at Westport’s 785 Post Road East, next to the New Country Toyota dealership, is in process. Built in 1910, the 2-1/2 story apartment house has 4,768-square feet, is situated on a 2.41-acre property and changed ownership in September 2015 for $1.2 million. 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
