History

edit

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] It is no longer used as a church and now houses a gift shop.[3]
