Honoring Our Heritage: 2 Gorham Ave.

Ann Chernow is honoring Westport’s heritage by displaying a Westport Historical Society plaque identifying her home at 2 Gorham Ave. as being designed by architect Frazier Peters and built in 1933. Nicola Geremia purchased the property from Gault and Bradley and commissioned Peters to design and build the house. In 1970, Chernow and her late husband Burt purchased the property which in 2007 became part of the Gorham Avenue Historic District. Ann is a well known national and international artist while Burt Chernow was well known as an art historian, educator and writer and a champion in Westport for exploring new ways to improve the environment for area artists and nonprofit arts groups.
