W.H. Vickery, proprietor of an apothecary shop, bought this lot in 1870 and built this home soon after. John Kivel bought the house in 1893. He was a lawyer and a notary public and also a Superior court judge. His daughter Alice, a legal secretary, lived here until 1950. Ambrose Breen, Dover’s mayor—1973, lived her for a few years around 1960.
