*The November Club was the first women's club in Andover. It was formed in 1889 after Miss Elizabeth Handy called a meeting of 15 "well-educated, enterprising, and socially elite women" in November 1888 to discuss her idea to start a women's club.
Century Bank opened on July 16, 2012 at 15 Elm Street, previously Settles Glass, which closed in 2008. Before that it was Elm Street Automotive which moved to Lupine Road in 1986. The bank originally planned to restore the building, but it was later determined that it could not be salvaged.  The new building was designed to match the historical character of the original building.
 
*The club first met at 126 Main St., but, after 20 more women joined, moved to Abbot Hall.
 
*In February 1892 they dedicated a new clubhouse on Love Lane, now called Locke Street.
 
*The November Club raised money for local charities, the war efforts, and to build their Locke Street clubhouse. They give dance lessons to young people, and had guest speakers.
