More than 100 years ago, in 1913, the Strano Manufactory of Macaroni was established on Main Street. It and the then Lyceum theatre occupied the space where the Algonquin Theatre is today.<\/p>\n<p>Domenico Strano came to Huntsville as the foreman of the Standard Chemical Company and later, attracted by the business possibilities in Huntsville, decided to open a bakery and macaroni factory. He found a market in the vibrant Italian community of workers at the tannery (the Anglo-Canadian Leather Company) and he also shipped to Toronto and Montreal. Strano sold the business in 1926 to Martin Iverson. The building that housed the macaroni factory survived until February 24, 1992, when it was destroyed by fire.
