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.
