Historical Narrative: 

This Cape Style home was built in the 1970's on a parcel of land that was sub-divided off from a larger parcel connected to the Hart Block at 6-10 Cuba St. and 12 Cuba St.

The property was formerly owned by Cornelius & Catherine Hart in 1944. In May1962 Catherine Hart sold the one acre property to John F. & Lorraine M. Lynch. Lynch sold this lot to John L. Chapman, of North Andover, trustee of the Chapman Realty Co. in Aug. 1969.

It appears that Chapman divided the lot creating two house lots in the late 1971. Lot plan #6480, drawn in Sept. 1971 by Joseph W. Moore, Inc. for Chapman creates Lot #1 at 4 Cuba and Lot #2.

Chapman sold lot #2 to Daniel J. & Virgina C. Kennedy in July 1972 for $25,000. Daniel Kennedy died on Feb. 23, 1974 and his wife Virgina later sold the home in 1978.

William J. & Vivian A. Buehner purchased the house on Jan 8, 1978.
William born in 1912, Vivian in 1902. They held the property for 16 years then sold to Dennis P. Sheehan in April 1994. Sheehan continues ownership in 2014.
