This house lot in 1900 was part of the triangle created by Elm, Summer and Whittier Street. Whittier Street was named after Nathaniel Whittier (see 10 Summer St) but when first constructed through to Elm St., in 1856, was a continuation of Punchard Ave. so called until renamed (1904). The Whittier house at 10 Summer St. is not on 1830 Dorman map. The property was purchased by Andover businessmen, John H. Campion, a merchant grocer, Barnett Rodgers, a Realtor and Jacob W. Barnard, shoe manufacturer.

In April and May of 1900, Whittier estate was broken into 18 different house lots ("very desirable lots in Andover Centre") and sold to individual parties by J. H. Campion, through Barnett Rogers agency. "Included in purchase is a two story and a half, double tenement house occupied by Miss Whittier, former owner of place, and Mrs. Lizzie Dundas. Both these tenants will retain their residence" (Andover Townsman).

This parcel at 66 Whittier St. was two lot #12 from the Whittier estate and was purchased by Walter S. Rhodes on June 1, 1905. Rhodes then sold the lot to Andrew McTernan on Sept. 21, 1905. The home was built for the McTernan family and on April 26, 1913 Andrew place the deed into his wife Emma F. McTernan name. The 1920 Andover Valuation lists Emma F. McTernan at 74 Whittier, house $4300, 4680 sq. ft. land $700. Later town directories list the house as #72. In 1958 the town renumber properties to accommodate infill construction of empty parcel. The number was then changed to 66 Whittier St.
