One of the most popular features on the old WestportNow.com site was “Teardown of the Day.”
For nearly 2 decades local photographer Dave Matlow snapped images of area homes, just before they were knocked down.
He meticulously archived them.
Now he’s taken the project one step further.
Dave is photographing their replacements — from the same distance and angle.
Taken together, they show the changing face of Westport: the types of architecture we’ve lost, and what’s replaced them.
“Homes of ‘06880’: Then and Now” will be a regular feature here.
Thanks, Dave, for your diligence in documenting Westport — then and now.
