Historic Grand Junction: Main Street, 1884
An early view down Main Street taken from 6th Street looking west. The long gone Mandel Opera House (where Main Street Bagels is currently located) is the closest building on the left. In 1885 Grand Junction’s population was 378 hardy souls. By 1890 the population exploded to 2,030 in large part due to the arrival of the railroad.
