Alma A. Wilson House

Address	35-37 Old Elm St
MACRIS ID	BIL.253
Built	1885

The house at 35-37 Old Elm Street in North Billerica stands on a lot of about 100 by 90 feet on the north side of what was then Elm Street, directly east of the North Billerica Baptist Church. The land was part of the old Osgood mill grant at the falls of the Concord River, which Thomas Richardson sold to the Proprietors of the Middlesex Canal in 1794. In 1851 the Canal sold its North Billerica holdings to Charles P. Talbot and Thomas Talbot, and in 1884 the Talbot family conveyed them to The Talbot Mills. The lot was the Elm Street edge of the triangle later called the Common, between Elm Street and the road to Lowell, whose south corner Thomas Talbot gave to the Baptist Society with its new church in 1871.

Alma A. Wilson was the widow of Israel Nelson Wilson (1828-1868), a son of Daniel Wilson; after his death she lived with their daughters Fannie and Annie in the Small House, which she had bought from Thomas Talbot in 1868. On January 30, 1885, the Talbot Mills sold her this bare lot for $200, a parcel "on the Northerly side of Elm street" running about 100 feet along "the fence bounding said Society's land", about 90 feet "along the line of a fence put up by said Mrs. Wilson", and back about 100 feet to Elm Street. No buildings were mentioned. She sold the Small House to Marietta C. Hutchins at the end of 1885 and built here: on August 5, 1889, she sold the property to Almeda M. Flint of Dracut, wife of Dr. Omar A. Flint, for $3,500 as "my Homestead situated in North Billerica". The rise from $200 to $3,500 dates the house to 1885-1889, and it appears on the 1889 atlas. Mrs. Wilson lived on in North Billerica, boarding with S. D. Metcalf on Treble Cove Road, and died April 12, 1921, aged 85.

The Flints bought with a $2,300 mortgage from the Mechanics Savings Bank in Lowell, which required "the buildings now or hereafter standing thereon" to be insured for $2,500. They lived in Lowell and did not pay it off. The bank entered to foreclose on May 14, 1902, advertised a mortgagee's sale in the Lowell Morning Citizen, and auctioned the house on the premises on May 22, 1902; the buyer was James Howarth of Billerica, who paid $2,675. Howarth kept it until his death on March 16, 1914, leaving it by will to his widow Elizabeth Howarth, who died April 16, 1924, and left it to her daughters Sarah Ann Sutcliffe and Elizabeth A. Stevenson. By then the lot held two houses: the engineers Brooks, Jordan and Graves surveyed it in April 1925 as two lots "with a house on each" for the Howarth estate.

In November 1926 Elizabeth A. Stevenson of Spray, North Carolina, and Sarah Ann Sutcliffe's children Everett and Mary Elizabeth Sutcliffe sold both houses to James F. and Martha B. Delmege of Billerica, with a $3,000 mortgage to the Middlesex Co-operative Bank. James Delmege died April 12, 1937, and his widow sold in 1945 to Chester M. and Alice Y. Wilson of Waltham. They sold in 1948 to Harold L. and Veronica D. Wilson of Billerica, who sold in 1949 to James Sr. and Anna Gray. In November 1955 the Grays sold to O. Edward and Mary H. Dutile, who still owned it when the house was inventoried in 1981 and whose family held it into the 2000s. The property was sold in 2007, No. 35 was remodeled after a fire in 2014, and in 2015 the two houses were converted into two condominium units; a company bought the property in 2016.

The assessor's date of about 1850 is too early, since the lot was bare in 1885, and although the house is inventoried among the Talbot mill worker housing of North Billerica, it was never company property after the Talbot Mills sold the lot to Mrs. Wilson. The 1981 survey form records her name as "Alana Wilson".

The registry shows "Image is Unavailable" for Book 169, so the deed itself was not read; that it covered the land of the future Oval, part of the C. P.
