Memorial Hall Library is the public library of Andover, Massachusetts. The building was built with Italianate styling in 1873 to a design by J. F. Eaton, a longtime associate of the Boston architect Gridley J. F. Bryant.{{Cite book |last=Reed |first=Roger G. |title=Building Victorian Boston The Architecture of Gridley J. F.

It was designed to house the town library, which it still does, and to act as a memorial to the town's Civil War soldiers. It was renovated in the 1920s under the direction of architects Coolidge & Carlson, at which time it acquired its Colonial Revival details.{{cite web |title=MACRIS inventory record for Memorial Hall Library |url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=anv.169 |access-date=2013-12-26 |publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts}} Small additions were completed in 1961 and 1968.
