[edit] Grand Army of the Republic Building (Detroit, Michigan)

Hi, thanks for bringing up the question of when the building was built. The older date came from the second external link in the article. Info from the city is probably more accurate.. The later date also fits in with the 1898 deed that is referred to in the article. Your Image:Gar.jpg is very good and I have put it in the infobox. Do you know if anything has happened recently on renovating the building? Best wishes. clariosophic (talk) 22:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
