125 Riverside Avenue Remains Graceful while Older than the United States of America

At over 200 years old, 125 Riverside Avenue remains a proud glimpse into Westport’s earliest history - one that pre-dates the Declaration of Independence. The home is noted as the Joshua Couch/Kathleen & James Coley Jr. home in the 2012 Westport Historic Resources Inventory - however, despite its age, is not a part of the National Registry of Historic Places due to its possible early uses as a commercial property. The home sits within the Riverside Avenue Historic District that includes registered historic properties that dot Post Road West, Riverside Avenue, Burr Road, and Cross Street. The age of the structure according to its plaque is 266 years old, however Town inventory has it noted as just a juvenile 212. WestportLocal.com photo
