The Grinnell Brothers Music House is a commercial building located at 27 South Saginaw Street in Pontiac, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
History[edit]
In 1880, brothers Clayton A. Grinnell and Ira L. Grinnell started a music business in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They moved the company to Detroit in 1882, and started manufacturing pianos. By 1901, Grinnell Brother was one of Michigan's largest piano and general music dealers, and the company began opening retail outlets in other cities in Michigan. They opened an outlet in Pontiac in 1907. The original Pontiac building was destroyed by fire, and in 1923, the company constructed this building to replace it. The company hired architect Leo John Heenan, a former employee of both Albert Kahn and Smith, Hinchman and Grylls, to design the building.[2]
The Grinnell Brothers store eventually closed, and the building was converted into a nightclub. The nightclub closed in 2014.[3]

Description[edit]
The Grinnell Brothers Music House is a three-story Gothic Revival commercial structure, measuring 20 feet in width and 140 feet in length. It was constructed to be fireproof, with a steel frame and concrete floors. The front facade is made entirely of stone, and contains many detailed decorative elements. It is three bays wide, with the bays separated by pilasters on the third floor level. The storefront opening on the first floor spans nearly the entire width of the building. 'Grinnell Bros. Music House' is carved into the stone facade above the storefront.[2]

How Old Is My Piano
Grinnell Brother/Leonard Piano
I was given this piano a few months ago: http://imgur.com/a/NQcMi
It needs to be tuned and at least half of the keys are loose or sticky. I cannot find any serial numbers, just the names 'Leonard Detroit' and 'Grinnell Bros Detroit'. It has to be at LEAST 30 years old.
Various Service Packs are available to download from ABB. Requires free Serial (RS232) port on the PC. Uses the drive's panel connector for communication. Drivewindow light. See linked products below for USB to Serial adapter.
Dvdvideosoft free studio serial number. I'm moving in a couple of weeks and won't have the room to take this with me, especially if it doesn't completely work.
Can anyone tell me a) How much it could be worth if I sell it? or b) How much would it cost to repair and tune? I'm really leaning toward selling it, as I can't play very well anymore and paying to fix it doesn't seem worth it.
