This property was once owned by Alfred Kittredge, of North Andover, President of the Abbot Hat Company. Alfred sold this parcel of land to his company on May 16, 1864 for $200. The following year the property was sold to Hart, Taylor & Company of Boston, partners Thomas W. Hart, Frederick B. Taylor and Orin B. North. The gentlemen then sold this property along with three other parcels to the Whipple File & Steel Manufacturing Co. on Sept. 1, 1865. This was the fourth parcel listed in the deed.
The home was most likely built by the Whipple File Co. in 1865. The file company went bankrupt and the assignees. Edward Page, John Beals, Thomas J. Horner and Thornton K. Lothrop took control of the company holdings. They sold off the parcel with building to Stephen Blaney, wife Mary. Blaney would later sell to Catherine Carey on Aug. 9, 1892 for $2050. Blaney held the mortgage which he later assigned to Newton Jaquith. With Jaquith's death his estate, administered by Mary A. Jaquith took possession of the property on Sept. 30, 1918 and then sold at auction to Newton F. Frye of North Andover for $727.
Frye then sold the home to Flora White, wife of Arthur White on November 5, 1918. White owned for five years then selling to Edgar & Jennie Northam on Oct. 15, 1923. Maxwell "Max" & Lottie F. Lyons purchased the property on August 27, 1929. They would later sell off a portion of the property to Edward P. Hall allowing for the development of Hall Avenue between Andover St. and Clark Road.
George H. & Louise B. Manock were the next owners, purchasing on June 21, 1943. Manock owned for 25 years. George died on Feb. 12, 1962 and his widow Louise would later sell in Apr. 1968 to Alan & Ruth Henderson. The Henderson family were long term owners of 42 years.
