Designed by renowned Detroit architect Louis Kamper (1861-1953), the structure was completed in 1928.  Grell earned two commissions here.  The first was for a large oval shaped mural for the first floor lobby supported by large columns.  The second commission was for the fourth floor City Water Departments Board Room ceiling.
