historical narrative
Proximity to Ballardvale Mills
Later owned by Capt. J. Putnam Bradlee (1866)
Structure significant to Commonwealth
Themes: industry, development of town
House was built for John & Lucretia Darr Marland (1836). When Jasial (SP?) Putnam Bradlee acquired Marland's properties and Ballardvale Mille he owned the house (1866). Mr. Bradlee never lived in the house - he always resided in Boston. Was named "Mansion House" after C. Lamson Giles converted the house into an apartment house in the 1950's. (B.H.)
