This week, Dave Matlow’s photographic chronicle of Westport’s homes — those that were demolished, and the ones that replaced them — takes him to what was once called “Westfair Village.”
One of the town’s earliest post-war developments, off Bulkley Avenue North and behind Westfair Shopping Center, it’s a tight-knit neighborhood with smaller-than-Westport-average lots.
During its near-80-year history, it’s seen many generational turnovers. Today — once again — it’s filled with families with young children.
Three homes from that neighborhood are featured today. The fourth — Blue Coat Lane — is off North Avenue, near Bedford Middle School.

The Blue Coat Lane updated house is horrible and ugly!!
So rude. One of your neighbors lives there. I personally like it. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.
