Architectural Description:

Historical Narrative: 

Themes: architecture, community development

In 1990 the street name was changed from High Street in Ballardvale to High Vale Lane to avoid confusion with High Street in Andover Center. In 1958 several streets were re-numbered to plan for future building infill. 26 High St. in 1958 then became 14 High St. in 1959 and now 14 High Vale Lane.

Much of High Vale Lane was developed in the late 1870's but this home predates most by thirty years and may have been the first built on the bluff above the Shawsheen River with a view of the mills below and the village that would emerge soon after.
