\u201cDarien Road\u201d, now Brookside Road, after 1825, this small shingled farmhouse was built in the Greek Revival style c1838, with its gable facing the road and a three-bay fa\u00e7ade with the door at the left. Over time, the house evolved and expanded.\u00a0 Rob Sanders Architects of Wilton reorganized the spaces, added a crossing gable to terminate the porch and provide space for a hallway and bath upstairs, reconstructed the 1973 family room addition with a new hall and stair, expanded the kitchen and removed the chimney from the early 1900\u2019s kitchen.<\/p>\n The 1838 Farmhouse represents good preservation practices by: 1)\u00a0 preserving the front portion consisting of the original house with its Colonial Revival decorations, but removing the later bay window, and 2)\u00a0\u00a0 rehabilitating the property with new additions, and the remodeling the 1973 though 1990\u2019s additions and alterations.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button

now Trackside at Dana House Teen Center.<\/p>\n Presenting the award to Mr. Sanders, Executive Director Helen Higgins said, \u201cThe old Davenport-Dana homestead, dating from the 1760\u2019s and threatened with demolition in the 1990\u2019s, has been reborn as a Teen Center in Wilton. The town of Wilton purchased the building in the late 1990\u2019s. Sanders\u2019 adaptive reuse design envisioned an old New England farmstead growing in typical fashion with converted barns and outbuildings. The result is a building that fits the historic center of Wilton while fulfilling a significant social need \u2014 that of giving teens a place to hang out as well as have positive experiences.\u201d[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.rsarchct.com\/project\/trackside-teen-center\/” button_text=”VIEW PROJECT” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”83d59e62-53b6-4a73-8cb8-0e2f265ae06c” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#000000″ button_border_width=”1px” button_border_radius=”0px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AWARDSPreservationCT Award of MeritRob Sanders Architects was honored to receive an Award of Merit from Preservation CT in the 2026 Connecticut Preservation Awards.
