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.
