Woodbridge, a cordwainer.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a uniquely bold example of a Greek Revival cottage, notable for its wide corner pilasters, fully pedimented gable end and classical recessed doorway. These features are uncommon in Andover, especially on the modest rural home of a craftsman. It is argued to meet Criteria A and C and to retain integrity of design, materials, workmanship and setting.","narrative":"Set on Salem Street in Andover, this small 1½-story cottage was built between 1847 and 1852 for George B. Woodbridge, a cordwainer who bought the undeveloped land from Jesse Harnden in 1847. The land was soon mortgaged to neighbor and builder William S. Jenkins, who may also have designed the house. Woodbridge sold it in 1853 to farmer Charles E. Abbott, and a series of short-term owners followed before Henry C. Harnden held it from 1863 to 1887. The Wright family owned it from 1905 to 1962. Clapboard-sided with a gable roof, the house has a pedimented gable end, an entablature, wide corner pilasters, a recessed offset door with sidelight and classical trim, six-over-six windows and a one-story side ell. Its bold Greek Revival detailing is uncommon in Andover, particularly on the modest rural home of a craftsman, and this distinction is the basis for its listing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"William S.
