The business partners began dividing up the land of the former Low estate creating house lots north of the house along North Main Street. They began selling off lots in 1895 & 1896.

This lot was purchased by Catherine Gray wife of Thomas Gray on May 20, 1896 from Lewis T. Hardy & Joseph Cole of Hardy & Cole Company.
The Michelini family lived her from 1905- 1926. Dionisio Michelini was a foreman with Boston & Maine RR. Wife Mary, and children Americo, Evelyn, Isabel, Emma & Adam J. Some of the family were employed with Tyer Rubber Co. They sold to Duncan Bisset in 1923 and later moved to Brookline, MA.

Alfred M. & Laura K. Robb and remained with the Robb family from 1946-1990.
