1843 - 1848 was period of much building in Ballardvale for the mill employees under proprietor John Marland.
"Most of Ballardvale Village was built between 1845 and 1848 and a large part of it in 1847, the time the machine shop was built. During the first 15 years of Ballardvale, when John Marland was director, it continued lively and flourishing. Then all streets were laid out and about every building erected that is here now."
