[3] Composer Gerald Marks' Hotel Tuller Orchestra was based here and contributed to Columbia Records' success in the mid-1920s.
[1] A 14-story annex was added to the southeast of the original building in 1914,[1] and it was a popular site for conventions and banquets.
[7] In 1927 the Tuller went bankrupt; a 1928 plan to demolish the structure and replace it with a 35-story, 1,500-room Biltmore hotel was abandoned due to the Great Depression.
[8] The Tuller was purchased by new owners in 1944, and experienced a complete makeover; the lobby was renovated by the architectural firm of C. Howard Crane.
The city of Detroit deemed this building beyond repair, demolished it in 1991,[7] and the site has remained a parking lot ever since.
