This home was built as part of the Shawsheen Village development 1918 – 1924 by William M. Wood, President of the American Woolen Company Wood hired about eight different architects to design the homes and structures for the village. Homes were sold or rented through the Homestead Association who had offices in the Post Office building on the corner of North Main & Poor Streets.

After the death of William M. Wood in Feb. 1926 most of the residential and commercial buildings were then sold. Some were held by the Wood family in the "Arden Trust" and others with the American Woolen Company, which had been deeded the property in December 1920. The AWCo Board of Directors authorized its President, Lionel J. Noah, to deliver all deeds, as deemed necessary to the Textile Realty for sale on Dec. 29, 1931.

The Textile Realty then transferred ownership to the Andover Shawsheen Realty Company on June 30, 1932, holding the mortgage on the properties. T. Edwin Andrew, treasurer, was authorized to sell or rent the properties. With the Great Depression sales were sluggish and many homes were rented until the economy rebounded.

This house was sold to Emil J. C. & Luella M. Shulze on Oct. 11, 1933. Emil Shulze was an agent for the American Woolen Co. Mills in Lawrence, MA. His son Carlton and wife Dorothea A. Shulze lived at 1 Carsibrooke Street. A look at the map #879 of the Textile Realty Company in June 1932 gives a clear understanding as to the properties acquired by Emil to the south and west of lot 35. The deed listed 7 parcels at one time, the first 3 are lots 35 and D. The 4th & 5th parcels are lots 36 and D purchased on Feb. 2, 1934 from the Andover Shawsheen Realty Company.

After the death of Emil J. C. Shulze, his estate trustees Luella M. Shulze & Carlton E. Shulze sold this property to Clarence S. & Hazel G. Waugh on Nov. 27, 1959. Clarence S. Waugh b. 1894 is listed as a wool buyer in 1961. Hazel b. 1895 is a housewife. Clarence S. Waugh died in Boston on June 19, 1973. Hazel G. Waugh sold a few months later to Donald P. & Elaine A. Dickinson on Sept. 27, 1973.

The unit at #74 in 1961 has Chester K. & Hazel W. Lind. Chester Lind is listed as a vice president.
