The land that now comprises Henderson and Marion Avevenues was once part of the Harwell B.Abbot farm and the William Foster farm. The land was purchased by Hartwell Abbott's daughter Elizabeth Punchard (Abbott) Pratt in March 1877. Elizabeth & husband T. Frank Pratt built their home at 105 Central Street at the corner of what is now Lupine Rd, (Formerly called Rail Road St. when constructed in the 1880's) Pratt was a Banker and died in 1908. Elizabeth owned the property until her death in in Jan. 1934. The family defaulted on a mortgage given to Elizabeth in 1926 and the Andover Savings Bank took ownership. In April 1946 Alexander H. & Marion (White) Henderson purchased the property. They filed a development plan #2420 in Dec. 1946 with a sub-division of the property. The first houses to be built were on Central St. and in June 1950 the town gave final approval to Henderson Acres.
