This property was once owned by the Whipple File & Steel Co. in June 1860. The Whipple File Company went bankrupt in 1867 and Edward Page, John W. Beals, and Thomas J. Homer of Boston and Thornton K. Lothrup of Milton, MA were the assignees of the company holdings. They would sell off the holdings at public auction on April 2, 1867. Stephen Blaney of Peabody, MA purchased six parcels of land along Andover Street and one on River St. for $9350. This parcel appears to be parcel five in the deed.

Blaney would later sell this property with tenement building to Martha E. Dearborn, wife of John S. Dearborn on March 21, 1887 for $1400. The property remained in the Dearborn family until Martha's death on July 5, 1930. Martha's estate went to her children, Florence M. Kirkman, Martha E. Tolinson and John E. Dearborn. John S. Dearborn was a carpenter.

The Dearborn heirs sold to Leonard Saunders & wife Eliza Jane. With the death of Eliza Jane Saunders her estate went to her two daughters Ruth E.& Helen D. Saunders. They would then quit claim their share to their father Leonard Saunders on May 29, 1933. Leonard Saunders died on in 1947 and his estate was probated by Ruth E. Saunders who then sold the property to Arthur M. and Mary White on Nov. 4, 1947. The White family owned for 47 years. Leonard died on July 2, 1977. Mary White held the property until 1994 selling to Dennis J. & Bernice Bligh on Sept. 29, 1994.
