| The Rose Cottage, located on the corner of Central & Chestnut streets, was built in 1784 by Abner Abbot, a blacksmith. In 1797, it was bought by Esquire John Kneeland, merchant, lawyer, and member of the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention. Kneeland entertained General Lafayette at the Rose Cottage during Lafayette's 1825 visit to America to dedicate the Bunker Hill Monument. General Lafayette spoke to the townspeople of Andover from the Rose Cottage's front porch.

| In 1837, the cottage served as the rectory of Christ Church and was later purchased by the Marland family. In 1906, Mrs. Abram Marland made it into a tea room called the "Rose Cottage Tea Room."
