The district is unified by the appearance of the three buildings (all are sheathed in clapboards and painted white), and their styling, which is predominantly vernacular 19th century.

[2] The Andover Congregational Church is the oldest of the three buildings, built in 1796 to provide space for civic and religious functions in the town.

Burial plots are laid out in north–south rows in the half-acre cemetery, which was filled up by the late 19th century.

In 1938 the Union Hall Associates sold the building to the local grange chapter, which had been meeting on the premises since 1894.

Located just east of the grange hall, the building served as a public school until 1962; its most significant alteration in this period was the addition of a wood and coal shed to the rear.
