Historical significance:

Martha A. Doyle daughter of Albert & Eliza Doyle sold the family estate to Henry T. Wheeler of Lowell, MA on Jan. 18, 1879. Wheeler owned the property for ten years then sold to Herman Yunggebauer, a butcher from Lawrence, MA for $500. on Mar. 23, 1889. The property list listed with buildings. Ellen M. Donovan and William E. Hayden held mortgages on the property. When Herman Yunggebauer sold to Thomas J. McEneaney on May 3, 1900 Herman reserved "for the term of ten years from date hereof, to enter upon said premises and use any slaughter house situated there on for slaughter and dressings of such animals as he may desire to kill for use in his meat shop."

Henry P. Lannan (c. 1859 - 1929) acquired the property in 1904 from Thomas J. McEneaney. Lannan was also a butcher, and may have built two barns and a carriage shed further up the hillside. Lannan moved to Lawrence, however, about 1916. Paul and Helen Fortuna recalled that for a number of years, Lannan would come out to River Road each Sunday to get his buggy to take his wife to church. Probably in 1921 (the date the assessor's office gives for the house), Lannan moved one of the barns to the roadside, converting it to the present residence. The Fortunas remember that Lannan rented it to a group of Italians in the 1920s, who set up a still in the house, finally busted up by the police. Henry's son George A. Lannan of North Andover purchased the mortgage from the Andover Savings Bank on May 25, 1925. for $850.

George then sold the property on Feb. 3, 1931 to Alcide Jean, wife Alice, who two years later sold on Sept. 1, 1933 to a 34-year old electrical maintenance engineer in Lawrence's Arlington Mill, Ernest Fieldhouse and wife Edith. Fieldhouse retired to Maine in 1963, selling the property to Henry and Anastasia Richardson on July 1, 1963.

The Richardson family continue as owners of record in 2016
