Grand Army of the Republic Building
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.
