East side of Little Rd, about 5657 Little Rd. The business buildings were there from the early 1960s through 2010. Note: Frank Madore owned the house here in 1949. The factory buildings are there by 1955. I was told by the Dixon family that the old buildings were a potato chip factory.

According to the comment on another photo this is the Little Meadows Nursery School and Farm.

From Louise M Dixon's obituary:

In 1959, Mrs. Dixon started Little Meadows Nursery School by converting a former warehouse and factory building. It was a neighborhood effort too, her son said. A farmer who could weld helped. Early teachers came from the area.

The school in the early 1980s had more than 200 students divided between half-day sessions and 15 teachers. Children could swing on an indoor swing set and climb on a model dinosaur outdoors. The school had child-sized farm animals for the students to feed and pet and observe - chicks hatched from eggs incubated onsite; rabbits, ponies, a donkey or two, goats.
