Stranges Grocery

This is the last remaining building in what used to be Grand Junction’s “Little Italy.” The building is significant because it is one of the few remaining structures built of rusticated sandstone in Grand Junction. It stands as an example of the masonry works of Nunzio Grasso (stonemason who worked on several buildings including structures on the CO National Monument).
