Historical significance: Brook Street opened 1830's "Way from Nathaniel Swift's to the factories". Also known as Factory St. Later named for Peter C. Brook, early paper manufacturer in Andover and financial backer of Marland Manufacturing Co.

The property was once owned by James Grosvenor who lived at 35 Essex Street. The property extended to Book Street. James Grosvenor and his wife Elizabeth acquired two additional parcels on Brook St from Joshua H. Ward on Aug. 28, 1841 and a lot from Mary J. Swift to Elizabeth Grosvenor on Oct. 1, 1868 which was a portion of the Dr. Nathaniel Swift homestead lot on Central St.

James Grosvenor built the two family home on Brook Street as income property. AT Oct. 7, 1904 – James Grosvenor is to build a two-tenement house on the Grosvenor estate on Brook Street. The carpenter work will be done by Hardy & Cole.

All his land holdings were placed in a Trust administered by Samuel P. Hulme on April 9, 1915. The Trust was for five years and gave Hulme the right to sell off properties in the trust. It appears that James Grosvener built the two family home as income property.

The store was located in the National Bank Building on Main St. Stacey at that time. Stacey then bought out the Wm. A. Allen Drug Store in the Musgrove Building in May 1913 and moved his business to that location. This property was owned for 13 years then selling to Alfred Bradbury on Jan. 20, 1928. Alfred died in 1932 and his heirs; John F. Bradbury, Henry L. Bradbury, Ellen A. Stacey were the Executors . Alfred C. Stacey & Ellen A. Stacey then held the property on Oct. 21, 1933. Ellen A. Stacey died on July 23, 1946 and the property went to Alfred C. Stacey of Nashua, NH.
