Frank M. Spalding was an American resident of Lincoln, Nebraska, during the early years of the twentieth century. He is primarily recognized in historical records through his association with his namesake home, the Frank M. Spalding House, which stands as a notable historic property in the region. This residence represents a significant local piece of early twentieth-century history and architecture.\n\nThe construction of Spalding's home was initiated in 1909, executed by the builders Peter Hansen and Frank Ostrander. The house itself was designed in the distinct Mission Revival architectural style by the architect Ferdinand Comstock Fiske. Spalding resided in the newly completed home for a relatively short period before his death in 1914. Following his passing, his widow and children continued to occupy the Lincoln residence for several years, eventually moving out of the property in 1920.\n\nFollowing the departure of the Spalding family, the building remained a private residence for several decades until the 1960s. During this decade, the property was converted into a convent to serve the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. In later years, the structure was remodeled once again to serve as a family property. In recognition of its enduring architectural and historical value, the former Spalding home was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 1999.
