Line 1: Line 1:
Andover's main train depot is located at 100 School Street.  It was built in 1906. It stopped functioning as a train station in the 1960s.  Since then it has been home to a number of businesses including a fish market and restaurant called Sea Train, a coffeehouse, an auto parts store and a photography studio.
George and Peter Dantos opened the Spa at 9 Elm Street in 1921.  The store sold soda, candy, ice cream and fruit.  George's son Phidias ran the store until 1970 when it was sold to George Dukas.
Today, it serves as a small general store and magazine shop.
Raspberries Eatery, run by Dana Wilson, was a deli and catering business operated in the back portion of the store.  It relocated to a spot outside of Andover in 2009.  In late 2010, it was announced that a Subway sandwich shop franchise location would move into the Spa by mid-February 2011.


The building was detroyed by fire in 1994. Resident Richard Marino bought the building and restored it at a cost of $485,000. It is now on the National Historic Register.

George and Peter Dantos opened the Spa at 9 Elm Street in 1921. The store sold soda, candy, ice cream and fruit. George's son Phidias ran the store until 1970 when it was sold to George Dukas. Today, it serves as a small general store and magazine shop. Raspberries Eatery, run by Dana Wilson, was a deli and catering business operated in the back portion of the store. It relocated to a spot outside of Andover in 2009. In late 2010, it was announced that a Subway sandwich shop franchise location would move into the Spa by mid-February 2011.
