Thomas K. Little was a dry goods merchant in Caldwell, and he was elected mayor of Caldwell in 1904.[3] With the help of architect Thomas H. Soule in 1906, he remodeled the Little Block (Harmon Building) at the corner of Kimball and Main Streets, expanding the building and adding its decorative corner turret.[4] After his retirement in 1910, Little moved from Caldwell to Boise.[5]
