Shawsheen Village Historic District
Shawsheen Village Historic District, Historic district in Andover, United States.
The Shawsheen Village Historic District contains 353 buildings displaying Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, and Craftsman architectural styles across its residential streets.
William Madison Wood of the American Woolen Company developed this planned community in the 1920s to provide housing for factory workers and executives.
The district incorporates relocated houses from the original Frye Village settlement, preserving the architectural legacy of different development periods in Andover.
The district divides into three sections: a commercial center near Main Street, an industrial area by the river, and residential zones for various social classes.
After William Wood's death in 1926, a realty trust purchased and resold most properties to their tenants, transforming the corporate community into private ownership.
