Charles H. Spencer House
-
Description
-
View of the Charles H. Spencer House in Grinnell, Iowa, probably taken in early fall 1882. The Spencers owned the half block on the east side of Main Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. The house originally sat at 1116 Main Street with outbuildings and greenhouses to the north and a generous lawn to the south (visible on the right hand side of the picture.) The house was moved to the vicinity of the southeast corner of Pearl Street and 6th Avenue (the site of the public safety building in 2016). It was then moved a third time to 611 Sixth Avenue. For many years it was the Christian Science reading room and in 2016 it became a gift shop for a few years. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
