Vermont native H.W. Spaulding settled in Grinnell in 1876 to open a blacksmith and wagon repair shop.[2] Not long after, he started to manufacture wagons. Because of his modest success he entered into a series of partnerships over the years. The oldest building in the complex was completed around 1880, and the company grew to a complex of five buildings. The last building was completed in 1910, and has a masonry chimney that originally rose to {{convert|110|ft|m|0}} high.[2] All the buildings are brick construction, and they range in height from two floors to three floors. As modes of transportation began to change, so did Spaulding. The company began manufacturing automobiles. They were one of several early automobile manufacturers that had existing operations that manufactured bicycles, wagons, and carriages.[2] They went out of business in 1929. Since that time the facility has housed a variety of small-scale manufactures, and even a veterinary clinic. Part of the plant has been renovated and now houses the Iowa Transportation Museum.[3] The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{NRHP in Poweshiek County, Iowa}}{{Iowa-NRHP-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|author=Ned Shank, M.H.
