<br /> Theresa Avenue was laid out by 1922, when there were only three houses on the street, all unnumbered. Based on its style, 30
<br /> Theresa Avenue might have been one of these. The households on the street in 1922 included John A. Murray, a traveling
<br /> salesman, and his wife Rose M.; Wensley Barker, a manager, and his wife Christine; and James Irwin, Jr., a carpenter, and his
<br /> wife Mary. 30 Theresa Avenue is first depicted on the Sanborn maps in 1927, when it appears with a one-story accessory
<br /> building, likely a (non-extant) garage, which was set at an angle to the street, parallel to the west property line.
<br /> The first known residents of 30 Theresa Avenue were Francis A. (Frank)Anderson and his wife Gladys F., who moved here from
<br /> Arlington between 1923 and 1926. In 1930, Francis and Gladys lived here with their two young sons and Francis's
<br /> septuagenarian uncle, Francis H. Andrews. Francis Anderson was born in Canada; his employment while living in this house
<br /> was described as dairy foreman in a milk business, milkman, and milk dealer. From at least 1945 through 1955, 30 Theresa
<br /> Avenue was occupied by Albert E. Bertini, employed as a foreman and later a truckman, and his wife Lillian. By 1965, Pasquale
<br /> Tramontozzi, a teacher, and his wife Grace B., a secretary, were living here.
