Grayson Braun and Jamie Walsh are honoring Westport’s heritage by displaying a Westport Historical Society plaque identifying their home at 3 Gorham Ave. as the Joseph Feeney house, which was built in 1930. Feeney, a foreman for Connecticut Light and Power Co., built the house on land acquired from Leonard H. Gault and Edward B. Bradley. The couple said they purchased their home because they loved its character and scale and the look and architectural history of lower Gorham Avenue. Both were key proponents of establishment of the Gorham Avenue Historic District in 2006, working with their neighbors and the Westport Historic District Commission. Braun is now an alternate member of the commission. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Bob Weingarten for WestportNow.com

Congratulations, Grayson and Jamie! It’s so easy for a town to lose its history, bit by bit, but the owners of beautiful historic homes like yours enrich the entire community by reminding us of those who came before us and reinforcing the value of preservation. Thank you! And thanks as well to WestportNow for highlighting the commitment of Westporters like Grayson and Jamie in honoring their historic homes.
Thanks for your commitment and hard work, Jamie and Grayson! It means a lot to the neighborhood and to the town.
Nice Plaque!!!!! Goes well with the house. Keep up the hard work. There is so much more to preserve in this town and I know you two will be there every step of the way.
Congratulations Grayson and Jamie. You two have done so much to lead the preservation fight in Westport and it is so nice that your work is recognized. Your support for our project will always be remembered. Keep up the good fight.
