Robert M. and Matilda Grindley House
Robert M. and Matilda Grindley House, Colonial Revival residence in Detroit, United States
The Robert M. and Matilda Grindley House was a residential building located on Parsons Street featuring classical architectural details and a slate-covered gable on its front facade. The structure displayed typical Colonial Revival characteristics with carefully crafted elements that reflected the owners' prosperity and taste.
The house was constructed in 1897 by architects Putnam and Moore and gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in December 1997. In 1998, the building was demolished after the Detroit Symphony Orchestra purchased the land to construct a parking facility.
Robert McBride Grindley established the Boys Club of Detroit and participated as a Charter Member of the Detroit Board of Commerce.
The site no longer exists as the building was demolished in 1998 for parking construction. Visitors can only view the historical location at the former address on Parsons Street, where the property has since been redeveloped.
Robert McBride Grindley, the owner, founded the Boys Club of Detroit and served as a charter member of the Detroit Board of Commerce. The family retained the property for over 60 years before it passed to new owners in 1961, who eventually left it to their daughter.
