Westport Wrecking Ball: 2 Owenoke Park, Built in 1910
An application for a demolition permit for Westport’s 2 Owenoke Park, off of Compo Beach Road, is in process this week. Built in 1910, the custom colonial home has 4,252 square feet of living space and is situated on a 0.47-acre waterfront property. It was sold on June 27th for $3,112,500. Because the house was built more than 50 years ago, the application will be reviewed by the Westport Historic District Commission.
