A pole with the American flag, and below it the POW/MIA banner, flies on the bank of the Saugatuck River, behind VFW Joseph J. Clinton Post 399.
Members and guests of the century-old club see it. So do boaters, passing by.
Those flags were last week’s Photo Challenge. Richard Stein, Susan Iseman, Andrew Colabella, Clark Thiemann and Seth Schachter all knew exactly where that stirring scene can be found. (Click here to see.)
Andrew notes that the flags are tattered. The VFW and American Legion hope to replace them. Donations are welcome. Email acolabellartm4@gmail.com for details.
Here’s this week’s Challenge. If you know where in Westport you’d see it, click “Comments” below.

This doorway is right across from Saugatuck Train Station, the brick border wall that separates Stony Point.

A bathroom door at the main building at Compo?
Isn’t that the “mysterious door” in the brick wall behind the Saugatuck railroad station?
I think is the door at brick wall across Saugatuck Train Station/
I think The large brick wall built as part of the agreement made between rail road company and Wesport.
Across from the Saugatuck train station parking lot… side entrance into Stony Point.

This is a very unusual setting of bricks. I wonder if anyone has an explanation for all those different widths. I like the colors.

Across from the train station. Northbound side.
It is indeed the mysterious door in the brick wall opposite the eastbound tracks at the Westport (Saugatuck) train station. I believe Seth Schachter is correct (above) about the reason for the wall. The door sure made for an easy commute for the house behind it!

More about the wall and Stony Point thanks to Ann Sheffer in 2014.
Thanks for this as I somehow missed that story in 2014. I grew up the area and I’m still here, so most interesting..
