This home and the others on the west side and northern end of Dale Street were all built as mill operative tenement housing by the Ballard Vale Mill Company in the mid 19th century. Although not included in either the Ballardvale Local Historic District or the Ballardvale National Resister Historic District, they do have historic context to the Districts as the last surviving wooden mill housing on Dale St. and fall withing the buffer zone.

The Ballard Vale Mills owned the homes for about 100 years before selling thee mill complex and all buildings to Marshal I Stone in February 1928. The Ballard Vale Mills held the mortgage as did the Essex Savings Bank of Lawrence, MA. A second mortgage was held by Helen A. Kendall of Washington, D.C. One parcel included all the housing and buildings on the west side of Dale Street. These buildings were later sub-divided into separate lots and sold off individually.

Marshall I. Stone was foreclosed on in 1944 and the Essex Savings Bank then sold the deeds to George W. French of Painfield, NJ. on Oct. 6, 1944. Two lots G & J were then sold to Jennie D. Perkins of Tewksbury, MA on June 24, 1948. The deed was transferred to Frank L. & Leslee Davis on June 28, 1948 who held the property for six years. Davis then sold the home back to Jennie D. and husband Dana F. Perkins in March 1954. They both were trustees for the Fielding Land Development Trust. When Jennie died Willard F. Perkkins was made a trustee.

On Aug. 28, 1959 the property was sold to Frank J. & Virginia Orlando. They owned for five years then selling to Frank J. Fichera on July 9, 1964 who put the property into a family trust for his wife and children. Helen A. Britton was the trustee who would later turned that position over to Frank J. Fichera. Fichera sold the home to Daniel M. Foley and Walter J. Meyers on Jan. 10, 1966.

The partners then sold to Dennis C. & Karen Lee Usher on August 17, 1968. Ushers held for three years then selling to Alan & Leena Minkkinen on March 26, 1971. Minkkinens were long time resident owners of the home for 36 years. Alan Minkkinen was a musician and music teacher with the Andover Public Schools before retiring.
