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.

In 1993, Memorial Hall Library and the Trustees of Memorial Hall Library undertook a front-entrance redesign project to return the building to front landscape and walkway design closer to the original 1920s entrance look and feel. Local landscape arctitect Peter Hornbeck and Andover architect Jane Griswold collaborated on the design which included native plantings, an oval brick patio and granite curbing. Project funding included individual and corporate private donors, Memorial Hall Library Trustee funds and state funds.

The front entrance project was originally part of a major 1987 renovation and addition project. Due to a state-funding budget shortfall, the front-entrance redesign project was not underway until the summer of 1994.
