Last week’s photo “hunt” was relatively easy.
Rick Benson, James Weisz, Diane Silfen, Edward Bloch and John F. Wandres all knew that the word “Hunt” can be seen on the side of what was once called the “Hunt & Downs” building, on the corner of Post Road and Riverside Avenue.
It’s still there. Now we just call it Arrezzo restaurant, or “the Age of Reason building,” or “where Art’s is.”
For a fascinating history of the structure — and the back story of both Hunt and Downs — as well as the photo, click here, then scroll down.
Here’s this week’s challenge — courtesy, as always, of Lynn U. Miller:
If you know where in Westport this is, click “Comments.” If you know anything about it, let us know!
A gate!
A fence! A frame!
A column?
A column or post! A chair!
Steps, stairs!
I give up! But it’s beautiful! I love how Lynn’s photographs often fool the eye as far as material. At first glance the subject can look like wood, when it’s actually cement/concrete, and vice versa. Here, I just see a lot of rust.
Is it on a cemetary gate? Christ and Holy Trinity on Kings Highway or the one on Evergreen for Saugatuck Congregational is my guess. — Madison Malin
Nope — we did the cemetery gate (Assumption Church on Kings Highway North) a couple of weeks ago.
Is the insignia a lantern, or a crown?
Or, a fish, serpent, or bird?
— with an acorn squash on top?
Must be a pub!
What looked like rust (earlier!) is clearly brick mortar between smooth stone…
… Or glass, paper…
Where are my fellow sleuths, Wendy and Sharon? I’m only spending time on this puzzle because it’s more fun than cleaning up after yesterday’s record wind and rain storm (the rain, though, was welcomed)!
Debris, not mortar. Dan, I’m quite positive that you’ve cleared up the photo in order to move this along!
Keep guessing…
Does it open?
No.
I think it is part of the North Avenue bring
Bridge that is to say
Is this horizontal or vertical?
I agree with Jacques!
A door entrance!
Perhaps on the Baron’s property – the dog-walk-park section?
I somehow recognize this close up image (great photography here), but it’s just soooo vague in my memory!
Also, had a thought that it could be near Compo, around some of the old war memorial grave sites?
Seems plausible, so I agree!
Does it squeak?
Is it bigger than a bread basket?
Old Mill Art Show (Hope it did well, by the way!)
C&HT Church.
Good night!
Jacques came closest. It’s the Merritt Parkway bridge, all right — but on Clinton Avenue. The Merritt has (or, in some cases, had), some amazing artwork on its bridges. All were different, by a variety of WPA-era artists.
Dan,
The Bridges on the Merritt Parkway are amazing. My brother in law Bill Collins was inspired by their design and created this bridge in PA.

Sorry Nancy I didn’t have a clue. I was busy yesterday so I didn’t have a chance to see the post. I’m catching up on Dan’s posts this morning.
This one was really tough, Wendy! I only got silly with it because of our ongoing storms.
Wish I had taken a heraldry/symbolism class to figure out the meaning, if there is one!
With all that rust, has to be on the water front!
