Nellie Leland School
Nellie Leland School, Historic school building in Detroit, United States.
The Nellie Leland School spans three floors in a brick structure that incorporates Tudor and Neoclassical architectural elements at 1395 Antietam Avenue.
Built in 1917 for $111,495, this educational facility replaced the former Detroit Barracks where Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant served from 1849 to 1851.
The school operated as Detroit's first public institution designed specifically for physically challenged children, featuring specialized classrooms and accommodations.
The building has been transformed into residential loft spaces after serving as an educational facility until 1981.
The structure contains original wheelchair ramps and an elevator from 1920, marking it as an early example of accessible architectural design.
