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.
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.
