The following is the first of an ongoing series featuring New Canaan's porches.
Walking down Main Street in New Canaan, one sees nearly an exhibition of New England porches.
On Memorial Day, the porches, adorned with bunting and flags, offer a vantage point for residents and their friends to watch as the various town organizations and clubs parade down the middle of the street.
For Denise Gannalo, who owns the porch and home at 275 Main St., the day has become an annual get-together with friends and family. In 2004, only weeks after she bought the house and before renovations were complete, she started that tradition.
"I said to some people, `Come by, we can see the parade from the porch.' So I bought a box of coffee and some people came. The following year, I invited a few more people, and every year it gets bigger and bigger. Now people just show up," she said during an interview from her porch.
Gannalo's house sits high on the property and offers a pleasant look down onto Main Street. The porch is decorated with dark wicker furniture -- a couch, two armchairs, a coffee table and an ottoman -- all holding plush cushions and pillows. Two plants, one a fern, sit on either side of the couch, and a pot of yellow flowers rests on the glass top of the coffee table.
Gannalo, has been a vice president for sales with William Raveis Real Estate for 15 years, has lived in New Canaan for 33 years. As a realtor, she is an expert on the market, and jumped when 275 Main went up for sale in 2004. It took Gannalo a full year to complete renovations to the home built in 1901. Everything in it needed updating -- except the porch, which, though repainted, remains made of the original wood, which is now more than 100 years old.
While many of the homes on Main Street have porches, most of the newer construction in town does not. Gannalo said this is due to New Canaan zoning regulations, which limit the percent of a lot a building's footprint may take up. Builders, she said, prefer to get more square footage for living quarters rather than porch space. Still, she said, porches are a selling point for many buyers.
"A porch is definitely a plus for houses. It serves as a gathering spot, a place for morning coffee or an evening cocktail," she said.
Since a sidewalk was installed on Main Street in 2011, Gannalo said the prospects for people watching have increased dramatically.

KINGWOOD, Texas A 49-year-old woman accused of stealing from porches in Kingwood turned herself into authorities on July 28.
Linda Tatosian is charged with theft, Montgomery County Sheriffs Office.
Tatosian was identified and charged on June 28; however, she did not turn herself in until the end of July.
The suspect was identified after KHOU 11 viewers recognized the woman and her car in the surveillance video from Kings Lake Estates.
A victims surveillance camera was rolling when the crime happened at his house in a gated subdivision.
The video shows Tatosian ripping open packages and trying on a pair of shoes. She then attempts to open the front door before driving away. Minutes later, she was recorded near the front door of a neighbors house where she appeared to relieve herself.

Some Pickerington neighborhoods have been bombarded with risque and graphic fliers left recently on porches and at mailboxes.
Even weirder is that the fliers are two different sets that apparently come from different sources.
Last week, Pickerington police sent an advisory to residents telling them that fliers carrying the official city logo at the top were, in fact, not from the city.
The fliers listed upcoming events including a farmers market offering medicinal marijuana treats for the whole fam.
Also scheduled, according to the flier, was an American Red Cross event offering on-site circumcisions, a citywide vote to build electrical fencing to keep poor people from Reynoldsburg out of Pickerington, and the opening of the Picktown PussyCats Gentlemans Club. Job applicants to Pickeringtons first strip club were directed to the city website.
The fliers were left at homes in the Cherry Hill and Colony Park neighborhoods, city council President Gavin Blair said yesterday.
I got a call from Cherry Hill one day last week. Is the city doing all this? Is this true? I said, Obviously, no. There is no strip club, no medical marijuana being distributed. Blair said.
The timing of those fake fliers roughly coincided with the distribution of other fliers left on porches in the Melrose subdivision, east of Rt. 256 and south of Refugee Road, close to a medical clinic at 670 Hill Rd. N. that has drawn controversy, said Blair and Pickerington Police Cmdr. Matt Delp.
