The Grande’s history stretches back to 1928, when it was built by Charles Agree, in a Moroccan-Spanish style. Agree also designed the Vanity Ballroom on Detroit’s east side, the Hollywood Theatre on Fort Street, the Whittier Hotel off East Jefferson, and the Belcrest Apartments on Cass.

The mural keeps attracting onlookers, and did even even before Los Angeles-based artist Gabe Gault had finished mapping out its dense visual narrative of social justice, musical influence and hope — along with recognition of one of Detroit's most influential bands and one of the city's most legendary music halls.
