Westport Wrecking Ball: 254 Saugatuck Ave Awaits its Fate during 180 Day Period
An application for a demolition permit for Westport’s 254 Saugatuck Avenue was put before the Westport Historic District Commission again last month after its initial discussion in November. Built in 1940, the cape has 3,472 square feet of living space and is situated on a 1 acre property. It was sold in February 2021 for $929,000. Because the house was built more than 50 years ago, the application was reviewed by the Westport Historic District Commission in November - who voted to uphold a decision to delay the issuance of a demolition permit for 180 days, until May 2023.
