Weston Historical Commission Advances Glen Road Tudor House to Public Hearing

WESTON -- February 10, 2026, Weston Historical Commission finds three historic-area properties significant and clears two applications at its February 10 meeting. Co-Chair Phyllis Halpern presided as the commission voted unanimously to find structures at 59 Orchard Avenue, 265 Glen Road, and 50 Golden Ball Road historically significant under the Demolition Delay Bylaw. Window replacement plans for the 1882 Orchard Avenue carriage house, part of the Hubbard estate, and for the circa 1910 Golden Ball Road colonial revival were both approved without a public hearing. The 1928 Tudor-style house at 265 Glen Road, one of only two Tudor homes in the Glen Road Historic Area, was advanced to a March 10 public hearing on a motion by Member John Thompson after discussion of a proposed full window replacement, siding change from wood shingle to clapboard, and rear addition reconstruction. The commission also voted unanimously to support Town Manager Leon's proposal to mount a historic cast-iron bench from 21 Hillcrest Road on an interior wall at Town Hall, and approved a historic marker for 85 Oak Street, dating to approximately 1933.
