Two Buildings Along North Grand Boulevard

The Speedwa School was a small business school that taught bookkeeping and accounting for both men and women, publishing its own books.

Recently, the building has been the home of a couple of clubs on the first floor.

Next door is a chop suey restaurant that has been in the neighborhood for years.

The next building, named after its intersection, the Grand Hebert Building, apparently housed the offices of doctors back in the day.

It is now completely abandoned, as far as I could tell.

It has some fine detailing, particularly in the half lunette lintel above the door going to the second floor offices above the first floor storefronts.

    unfortunately the Grand Hebert building, already in bad shape, burned today- to the point renovation is impossible.

      Greg, thank you for alerting me that I had photographed the building before. It is a sad loss.
