Editor’s Note:
Many readers noticed that the names of the parties involved in last week’s transfers were not published. More importantly, many readers emailed me with their comments. I again write this week’s report of transfers without the names of the parties involved, and want to continue our conversation.
My purpose in not publishing names is to support the privacy of those involved - fellow community members and neighbors. In a time when more families are home during the day, and more families are transferring property for both positive and negative reasons, I want to uphold my mission in keeping this a community site that’s both objective in practice, while empathetic in nature. The list is publicly accessible on the Town of Westport Website each week - which I will include as a link in each week’s report here on The Westport Local Press.
The emails from those who thanked me for the privacy, as well as those who missed being able to see the comings & goings of neighbors, were important to me. As so many of you have - please contact me should you have any comments, suggestions, or ideas - because conversation is key.

Despite COVID-19, Westport House Historian Continues to Honor Historic Homes
The Westport Museum for History and Culture has continued to honor historic Westport homes through the pandemic, keeping history alive for generations to come. Bob Weingarten, House Historian and Plaque Coordinator, described this historic home located at Two Northside Lane.
“Eileen and Geoffrey Baldwin have honored the heritage of their home at 2 Northside Lane. The initially small house, believed to be a caretaker house, was built in 1916 by Fannie Hale Gibson, but sold the property in 1919 to Robert & Aglae VanNalzah. After several property transfers, Stanley S. Joseloff purchased the property in 1952, enhanced the house and sold it in 1953. The current owners have lived in the house since 2014.” (Quote and photos by Bob Weingarten)
