Casa Grande

This building is referred to as Casa Grande by Colombians in Rhode Island. It was used as a social meeting place for countless Colombians in the Blackstone Valley of Rhode Island. The Colombian-American Society was founded in this location. It is where Colombians lived in the 1970s and 80s while working at Pontiac and Cadillac Mills, which were directly adjacent to this location.
