One of New Canaan’s most prominent homes—the stately ca. 1910 Colonial at 275 Main St. (on the left as you climb toward the crest of the final hill toward town)—is hitting the market Tuesday at $2,695,000. From a website featuring the property, owned by Denise Gannalo: “The house on Main Street that you have been waiting for. This turn of the century timeless classic has been lovingly restored, renovated and updated with up to the minute elegance and detailed character. Sitting on an unbelievable large in town property in the heart of New Canaan, there is no other comparison. 5400+ sq ft with 5 bedrooms, 4 ½ baths and a stunning legal apartment, it boasts of 4 floors, finished basement, wine cellar, expansive butler’s pantry, 2 laundry rooms, sound system and 3 car oversized garage. Outdoor living is an entertainer’s delight with private terrace, stone outdoor fireplace and wood burning pizza oven. The expansive property has a large storybook front porch for watching the parade and also has the potential for additional outbuildings and pool. This Main Street central location with new sidewalks and 2 blocks to town will be a gathering place for friends and family alike. Own a piece of the rock in downtown New Canaan.”

Congratulations to New Canaanites Len and Liza Paglialunga on the birth of their first grandchild.
Evangeline Mae Wellemeyer was born Jan. 21, weighing seven pounds, 14 ounces. Baby Evangeline’s parents are Megan and Jason Wellemeyer of Wellesley, Mass.
Len—a Center School alumnus and NCHS star running back in the late-1960s who would lead the Rams over Darien in a classic 1967 matchup—said of the photo at left: “Evangeline was the one deflating the footballs. Here she is blowing them back up so she won’t get in trouble.”

Town Hall is on track to receive by the end of April its first tenants since the property’s renovation and expansion—starting with those municipal departments now operating out of Elm Street, such as the Town Clerk, Tax Collector, Assessor, Fire Marshal and Registrars of Voters. They’ll be followed by the DPW, First Selectman and Finance Department—and the Parking Bureau will move into the New Canaan Police Department once they’re out—and finally those now at Irwin (such as P&Z, Health and Building) will move in August. Of an estimated $13 million in total construction costs, about $2.5 million remain and the contingency fund stands at about $84,000, First Selectman Rob Mallozzi said.

Asked about the varsity football team’s Hudl investigation—into a suspected security breach of a video analysis tool used by the Rams—New Canaan High School’s athletic director said the entire matter went away on its own and an investigation turned up nothing.

The town building department on Feb. 17 issued a demolition permit for 252 Carter St., a 2.3-acre property with a 1952 ranch purchased one year ago. In 2004, its former owner had been approved for a permit to put $100,000 in renovations into the home.

Sky Mercede of Forever Sweet Bakery on New Canaan Avenue in Norwalk—a member of the New Canaan Chamber of Commerce—shared the photo at left with us. More than 100 students spent February break on a mission trip to Alabama, Mercede said. They returned this past weekend in time to get back to class. The photo was taken Feb. 12 at the Congregational Church of New Canaan, the night before the students left.

New Canaanites are deadlocked on whether 16-18 Locust Ave. or 121 Park St. would be a better future permanent location for the Post Office, according to a poll posted here. Mimi Findlay, chairman emerita of the New Canaan Preservation Alliance, compiled these fact-sheets on each property in contention:
16-18 Locust Ave (Information from the New Canaan Historic Architectural Survey by Steven Bedford, 1987):
