1 111 SARANAC STREET LITTLETON, NH OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH in a Sustainable Riverside Community

2 111 SARANAC STREET LITTLETON, NH On February 1st, 1995 we leased space at the Tannery Property for ADMAC Salvage, our architectural salvage business. At that time, we had yet to discover all the opportunities that our historic riverside location would offer. By January 2001 when we purchased the Tannery property, we had already saved the neglected warehouse and learned to appreciate its potential. In the fall of 2012, we closed ADMAC and hosted a Plan NH Design Charette to help envision the future of the Saranac Street neighborhood. Today we are celebrating our recent successes at developing our tenant base and installing a new, state of the art pellet boiler system. We are looking forward to attracting new businesses who want to take advantage of the opportunities at the Tannery Marketplace. Ray & Sarah Cloutier

3 Ira Parker has just purchased the site of the former Littleton Woolen Manufacturing Company and converted the building to house his expanding business - the manufacture of deerskin gloves. Parker acquired the rights to use an improved process of tanning in the late 1860 s thereby creating a product with much improved pliability, durability and strength. These qualities ultimately made Saranac Gloves nationally and internationally known. Actress Bette Davis was presented with a pair of Saranac driving gloves during one of her many visits to the Littleton area.
