Pic Of The Day #932
This entry was posted in Arts, People, Pic of the Day, Real estate and tagged Naiad Einsel, South Morningside Drive, Walter Einsel. Bookmark the permalink.
All 4 lots have just been listed https://smartmls.mlsmatrix.com/DE.asp?ID=3426198376
Wondering where they are being moved to?
The studio/barn is being moved onto the same parcel where the Einsel historic home is. The parcel with the house and studio/barn structures is now up for sale along with the 3 other parcels. This Historic District was subdivided into 4 parcels to allow the current developer ( who is now selling the 4 parcels) to build 3 additional homes as well as to restore the Einsel home and studio. The parcels are being sold “as is” with the approved building plans and approved Town permits.
Wasn’t Naiad Einsel the lead artist on the 1976 Bicentennial Westport Town Quilt? The quilt was @ our house for a time while our mother worked on “her” square. She thought so highly of Naiad. Where is the quilt displayed these days?
I’m glad the structures were saved, but heartbreaking nonetheless. And Yes, Naiad did design the bicentennial quilt. It used to hang in the front hall of town hall, but seems to have been removed. Wondering where it is now, as well.
