Preservation Award Winner: 19 Evergreen Ave.

The Westport Historic District Commission will honor Richard and Maura Gaenzle, owners of the house at 19 Evergreen Ave., at a Town Hall ceremony Saturday, Sept. 16. The commission is honoring owners of 10 Westport properties for their work in rehabilitating, adapting, or preserving structures.  Known as the Elizabeth Bradley House, this 1914 Colonial Revival has earned its owners the award in recognition of the superior preservation of this important early asymmetrical Colonial Revival Home. According to the Historic District Commission, “the structure’s high integrity is enhanced by a period appropriate cedar roof.” “Also commendable is the special attention paid to the original garage which significantly contributes to the architectural and cultural value of this property.”  This is the ninth in a WestportNow series highlighting the winning properties.
