Handy Chapel

Note:
"Built in 1892 to serve the need for an African American church in Grand Junction, the Handy Chapel has been a source of spiritual and physical comfort to the resident black community and travelers in distress.  The company town deeded the lots for the chapel not to a specific congregation but to all black citizens of Grand Junction." History Colorado website To know more click on: A | B C |
