Grace Brown & Wheeler Ave.

Posted

To the Editor:

In regard to the article on the home on Wheeler Avenue facing code violations, I would like to provide a correction.

The historical significance of the residence is due to Grace Brown having boarded there at the time she was in a relationship with Chester Gillette. They did not live there together.

The Benson Wheeler family lived in the home, and it was a short commute for Grace to work at the Gillette Skirt Factory.
