History

The Charles H. Spencer House was built at the corner of 6th Avenue and Main Street in the late 1860s as a private residence. Charles H. Spencer was the founder of the First National Bank of Grinnell. There was one intermediate move before the building was moved to its present location.[2]

gollark: I tend to over*research* stuff in advance a lot, but not actually plan based on it because I would never stick to it anyway.
gollark: I see.
gollark: You seem to be doing interesting stuff, though.
