Title

H.L. Spencer and Company Loading Shed, Late 1800's; Oskaloosa, Iowa

Description

This is a photograph of the H.L. Spencer and Company loading shed that was taken in the 1890's. Harry Lindley (H.L.) Spencer started a grocery business in 1867 with F.J. Terry in Oskaloosa, Iowa. Over the years the business gained much success and Spencer was able to move his business ventures beyond Oskaloosa, Iowa, extending his businesses from Des Moines to Sioux City, Iowa. Other business ventures included pharmaceuticals and fuel companies. In this particular photograph, a driver is pulling into the shed to either pick up or drop off goods that would eventually be sold to the public at the wholesale grocery store.
