Shawsheen Village was named after the Native American name for the river Shawshin, which means Great Spring. Burnham Road takes its name for George L. Burnham, a former Superintendent of the Town Farm and Almshouse.

Prior to Shawsheen Village this area was known as Frye Village. The town of Andover purchased land from York Street to the Boston and Maine Railroad or the use of a Town Farm or Alms House in 1807.

This home was not built as part of the Shawsheen Village development 1918 – 1924 by William M. Wood, President of the American Woolen Company. The land was however purchased by Wood and owned by the AWCo. Wood hired about eight different architects to design the homes and structures for the village. Homes were sold or leased 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 on Feb. 2, 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 A.W.Co. 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 lease the properties. With the Great Depression sales were sluggish and many homes were rented until the economy rebounded.

This house was sold to Rudolph S. & Esther Dietrich on Sept. 11, 1939. Within the deed were restrictions, one of which was first refusal to buy back the property if an approved buyer could not be found. ASRCo. exercised their option on June 1, 1940 and then sold to James & Rose A. Innes June 1, 1940.
Sadly James Innes died the following year on July 27, 1941. Rose A. Innes the sold the property to Garrett T & Deirdre A. Murphy.

Pasqualie J. & Shirley I. Pucci purchased the home on Sept. 26, 1960 and owned for over forty years. They sold the house to their daughter Nancy J. St. Pierre on Aug. 15, 1992 keeping a life tenancy for themselves. Shirley Pucci died on 1/22/2005 and Pasqualie Pucci on 1/31/2008.
