Historical Significance
This house was apparently built c. 1825-1830 built for either a W. Robinson or a C. Hayward—making this house one of the few at Stanley not built and owned by the Lazell, Perkins/Bridgewater Iron Co. By 1852 the house was owned by an S. Walker. By the early 1870s this house was owned by the Bridgewater Iron Mfg. Co. During the early 1900s a Mrs. S. Sheehan (Simon Sheehan, fireman) lived here.
