|
| | 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.

The final dedication for the new park landscaping and stonework as well as a newly renovated foyer was held on January 8, 1995. |
