Two More Ridgefield Houses Designated 'Historic'

Two more houses in Ridgefield have been designated historic.

The houses located at 37 Catoonah Street and 75 Olmstead Lane were recently included in the town's historic district to the west of Main Street.

During a recent Board of Selectmen meeting First Selectman Rudy Marconi explained that Ridgefield has two historic districts in the downtown: One to the east of Main Street the other to the west. He said the two houses fell just outside of the historic district.

Marconi said the Historic Properties Commission, which designates specific houses as historic, was created in 2000, and is served by the same people who sit on the Historic District Commission, which focuses on historic districts.
