Today’s edition of Westport homes — teardowns, and their replacements, courtesy of photographer Dave Matlow’s archives and follow-up — takes us to the Compo and Old Mill Beach neighborhoods.
Those areas have seen more changes than many in town. Among them:
Sterling Drive, July 2011 …
… and April 2026.
==================================================
Sherwood Drive, August 2014 …
… and April 2026.
==================================================
Buena Vista Drive, December 2018 …
… and April 2026.
==================================================
Soundview Drive, March 2016 …
… and April 2026.

That new one on buena vista drive…mmm, that’s a real beauty. Are architects taught how to build these bloated, heinous, energy sucking eyesores, or are they just naturally talented?
Uhmmm. I think we get it.
all these are fascinating and should be assembled in a book. In most recent set, and perhaps earlier ones, and based solely on the photos, it is not clear which is more attractive: older or newer versions of same property (!)…beauty is in the eye of the beholder
