WestportLocal.com photoEvyan perfume founder Baron Walter Langer von Langendorff’s former mansion was appropriately named Golden Shadows, as that’s exactly what could be found on the Baron’s South property overlooking the Saugatuck tonight.
The home sits amongst assumedly spectacular former gardens, with now just one cleared walking path available to pedestrians looking to cut between South Compo Road and Imperial Avenue.
The home and its expansive property is owned by the Town of Westport, and remains one of the most complex future planning projects facing the community, all the while sitting and waiting for its next life in Westport.
