Photo Challenge #567

Posted on November 9, 2025 | 20 Comments

Compo Road South is one of Westport’s most traveled streets.

Drivers slow down as they approach the stop sign at Soundview Drive, before South Compo turns into Hillspoint Road.

Coming the other direction, they still drive slowly. (Hopefully.)

Still, only 5 readers (Dan Vener, Andrew Colabella, Matt Murray, Seth Schachter and Sal Liccione)recognized last week’s Photo Challenge — John Maloney’s image of a rounded, orange-ish door, set among a lattice fence — as #324.

Click here to see. And check it out the next time you’re near the beach.

Here is this week’s Photo Challenge. If you know where in Westport you’d see this probably-outlived-its-usefulness scene, click “Comments” below.

    Bottom of Jesup Green – the place with all those icky trees that need to be chopped down for a parking lot….just kidding, of course.

    Yes indeed — Jesup Green, near the lower Library parking lot.

    Now … let’s take the next step, and toss these relics.

    In other local news, Westport officials announced that three affordable housing units have been established on Jesup Green using repurposed newspaper vending machines which had been abandoned. The diminutive buildings, together known as a cottage cluster, are placed side by side facing the Saugatuck River. The Westport Housing Authority is currently accepting applications.

    At the edge of Jesup Green. By the parking lot below the library.

    After the third duplicate correct post this becomes more of a sobriety / dementia check.

  17. Linda Vita Velez | November 9, 2025 at 4:06 pm |

    right at the base of Jesup Green, near the library parking lot fringe.

    I love Amy Schneider’s wonderful idea to use the green one as a little library! Perfect!
