Later the cigar factory moved to M Street in Littlestown. This property then became the Henry A Spalding property and a large 2 story barn used as a Livery stable was built in the rear. This was a thriving horse-trading business in the early 1900’s, one of the employees Charles McCaffrey worked for Henry Spalding and later acquired the property into the McCaffrey family. This information is in the Littlestown Bicentennial Book Vol. I on page 144. There is an old cupboard door in the office of the barn with the name H.A. Spalding stenciled on the inside. Included with the property is a refrigerator, natural gas range/oven and Red Cedar wardrobe on 2nd floor stays with the house.
