| Incidents in Andover or involving Andover residents:
| |
|
| |
|
| | In 1993, Memorial Hall Library undertook a front-entrance and foyer redesign project. To return the building to a front landscape and walkway design closer to the original 1920s entrance look and feel was a major goal of the project. Local landscape architect Peter Hornbeck ( [[Hornbeck, Peter]]) 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. |
|
| |
|
| == Arson ==
| | 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. The Andover Historic Footprints Committee, led by Ann Constantine, Norma Gammon and Larry LaMagna raised more than $60,000 from private donations to ensure the completion of the work. |
| In 1997, two 15-year-old Andover males were arrested after multiple fires were lit downtown.

| | In addition to the exterior work on the property, the library's front foyer was enhanced with decorative painting featuring a border with the names of New England authors and ivy vines. |

| |
|
| |
|
| | | A small delay in the completion of the project was reported on in the September 1, 1994 edition of the Lawrence Eagle Tribune. The delay was due to the fact that the granite curbing company delivered pieces that did not fit as they were supposed to. The final dedication for the new park landscaping and stonework as well as a newly renovated foyer was held on January 8, 1995. |
| A small fire at the Collins Center at Andover High School was a case of arson. | |
