In ''A Townswoman's Andover'', Bessie Goldsmith describes the Blunt Tavern, the Abbot Tavern, the Mansion House, the Locke Tavern, Traveler's Rest, the Elm House, and the Stowe House in detail, as well as giving a general overview of the tavern in the 1600 - 1800s.


The Andover-By-Pass (Route 125) was constructed to reduce traffic on the Phillips campus. Academy trustees under the leadership of Alum Thomas Cochran bought the land and the state constructed the road, which opened in 1931.


Deacon Isaac Abbot's Tavern, built around 1680, is at the intersection of Whittier and Elm Streets (70 Elm Street). It became a tavern in 1776.  On November 5, 1789, George Washington breakfasted there while making a tour of the eastern states shortly after his inauguration.
