The Stevens Library District in North Andover

Nathaniel Stevens was a prominent textile manufacturer in North Andover and Essex County. He began operation of the Stevens Mill in 1813.  His family was one of the original founders of North Andover.

The North Andover Mills were in operation from 1820 to 1899. In 1876 Stevens dissolved Nathaniel Stevens & Son. Stevens and his brothers continued the business separately. His three sons, Nathaniel, Samuel, and Moses, became partners in the business in 1886 and the firm became M. T. Stevens & Sons.

Moses Tyler Stevens and his family founded and funded Stevens Memorial Library in 1906 in dedication to his Father Nathaniel. The library had a major addition in 1994.

The Library District is amongst one of the most sought after neighborhoods in North Andover. The tree lined streets and older colonial homes which date

back to the early 1900′s give this area an uncommon characteristic.
