Spencer Rounds ?

Surnames: Magnarella
Does anyone have any information on a company named Spencer Rounds? My grandfather's (Vincenzo Magnarella) WWI draft registration shows that he worked for a company in Bristol RI and I think the name of the company was Spencer Rounds- see attached. The year was 1917

I am looking for any information on this company..what they did? what years they were in operation?
thanks!

I have access to some Bristol/Warren City Directories and from 1876 to 1914, Spencer Rounds is listed as a carpenter and a builder.
There were no Magnarella's in the 1914 directory.

Hi,

Spencer Rounds was one of my ancestors. This would be Spencer Rounds,Jr. (b. 1840, d. 1930). He was a building contractor and house mover in Bristol and Warren RI about that time. Supposedly they moved a house across the ice of frozen Bristol Harbor one winter. I don't know what year it was. I know of a few houses in Bristol that he and his crews built.
