Last week’s Photo Challenge was another of those hidden-in-plain-sight puzzles.
Ed Simek’s shot showed the front door — and intricate molding — of the Westport Public Schools’ maintenance building.
Set back a bit from the road, it’s easy to overlook. But if you’re ever stuck at the traffic light at Kings Highway North and Canal Street — and who isn’t? — glance over at the building, nestled between the Saugatuck River and Canal Park. There it is. (Click here to see.)
Eric Bosch, Seth Schachter and Andrew Colabella all knew the answer.
Alfred Herman offered this historical tidbit: In its earlier incarnation, this was the local office of Bridgeport Hydraulic Company. (The local water utility is now Aquarion.)
Seth Schachter returns today, as the photographer of this week’s Photo Challenge. If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.

Riverside Avenue
Inside of Stiles Market ?
I think this is at Old Mill Grocery, more recently Romanacci’s
Exxon gas station on the corner of Post Road and Maple.
I think it’s a gas station but have no idea which one. John McKinney may be correct.
John McKinney IS correct. It’s the Exxon station at the corner of Post Road and Maple Avenue South. Not really a grocery store, unless you consider Ring Dings and microwave pizza “groceries,” but what the heck.
