First Period English Colonial 17th/18th century historic saltbox house; the documented oldest in current North Andover, MA - which was actually the original Andover, Massachusetts before 1855. The central core of this house - visible on the Google street view as the segment below the two roof dormers and the smaller upper bay window (which were added in the late 19th c. ) - was built during the reign of British monarch William III and retains its original 1695 architectural features. Later economic affluence and family growth in 1721 resulted in a major addition to the first simple dwelling, which included elegant early Georgian panelling in generously-proportioned rooms constructed behind the new facade. The house has continued to evolve over the centuries, with various renovations and additions around 1750, 1830, 1875, 1915, 1950, and 2001. Regional domestic trends and changing styles have layered and enriched this museum-quality New England homestead over its 329 years. The house's original date has been verified through a professional dendrochronology analysis conducted by William Flynt, Architectural Conservator at Historic Deerfield, in May 2021. There have been no experiences of ghosts or haunting, and the whole house has a calm, comfortable feeling, even though it was moved from its original location at 11 Marbleridge Rd., North Andover, MA 23 years ago.
