A one-time school building in Grand Junction that was later converted into a children’s day care and education center is being listed for sale for $750,000.
Located at 3170 D ½ Road on the east side of the city in a mostly residential section, the one-story structure was built in 1955.
For years it was the home to the Pear Park School, providing instruction to several generations of Grand Junction students.
After that school closed in 1969, the building was occupied by a series of day schools, including Jo’s Child Haven and the Step by Step Learning Center. The most recent tenant was the Futures Learning Center, which ceased operations at the site several months ago.
Sitting on a nearly 2-acre site, the structure is classified as a Class B building, and comprises nearly 5,800 square feet. Included in the building is office and classroom space, as well as a utility-sized kitchen.
The property is being listed with the Pueblo-based realtor Cordova Investments.
