The Nellie Leland School is a school building, originally built to serve handicapped children,[2] located at 1395 Antietam Avenue in Detroit, Michigan (the former location of the Detroit Barracks, where Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant served from 1849 to 1851[3]).

His wife, Nellie Leland, was active in the philanthropic community, focusing on the hardships of poor citizens with tuberculosis and promoting the scientific search for a cure.

[2] Nellie Leland died in 1910, but two years later, Henry built an open air school to serve children in the early stages of tuberculosis, naming the structure after his wife.

[2] The Nellie Leland School contained innovative structural features that allowed handicapped children to learn, including such things as wheelchair ramps.

[2] The school proved popular, and in 1920, an addition was constructed to accommodate children awaiting admission; an elevator was added at the same time.
