About this property
Grand Forks Mercantile Building is a property in Grand Forks, North Dakota that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2004. Built in 1898, the building includes Early Commercial architecture. Though the design has in the past been attributed to Grand Forks architect John W. Ross, the architects were Stoltze & Schick of La Crosse, Wisconsin. It is located at 112–118 N Third Street in Grand Forks. Another building, at 124 N 3rd Street, named the Grand Forks Mercantile Co., was built in 1893 and is also listed on the NRHP.
