Photo Challenge #573

Where in Westport would you see an official-looking sign that says “Beagle Xing” — complete with the image of an alert, about-to-cross beagle? (Click here to see.)

Fairfield County Hunt Club?

That’s a good guess — and the one favored by most responders to last week’s Photo Challenge.

But it’s wrong.

The location — one that only Jen Fridland knew — is the corner of Redcoat and Cavalry Roads, clear across town from the Hunt Club.

But neither Jen nor I — nor anyone else, it seems — knows the back story to the beagle sign. If you do, click “Comments” below.

And click “Comments” too if you know where in Westport you’d see this sight:

  1. Greens Farms School

  2. Right by Joey’s?

  3. Compo beach locker rooms brick wall looking towards the peak of Joeys (I will never call it hook’d).

  4. Greens Farms School. The bricks are the type from 80 years ago.

  5. Lynn Untermeyer Miller

    Compo Beach lockers. Looking towards Joey’s (we should apologize profusely to him and beg him to come back to us – he was such a gem, in so many ways)

  6. Compo beach by the lockers and Joey by the shore aka hooked

  7. Compo pavilion

  8. I’m thinking Greens Farms School. a back up choice – Old Wesport Bank building (Patagonia) – which happened to be both built by same architect Charles Cutler back in 1925 !

  9. Good guesses. It is the Compo Beach lockers, near the pavilion and concession.

  10. the changing rooms at Compo?
