Grand Army of the Republic Building, Civil War veterans memorial building in downtown Detroit, United States.

The five-story Richardsonian Romanesque structure stands at the intersection of West Grand River and Cass avenues, featuring stone blocks and castle-like turrets.

The Grand Army of the Republic Building opened in 1901 as a meeting place for Union veterans, incorporating 13 retail shops and a bank on its ground floor.

This memorial building represents the connection between Civil War soldiers and Detroit, serving as a testament to their service and sacrifice.

The building now houses two restaurants on the ground floor while the upper levels contain offices of a media production company.

The cornerstone placement occurred on July 4, 1899, using land willed to Detroit by General Lewis Cass under specific marketplace conditions.
