Grand Circus Park, Detroit, Mich.

Description:

Color postcard depicting the Hazen S. Pingree Monument in Grand Circus Park, with pedestrians on the paths and Woodward Avenue on the right. Printed on verso: West Grand Circus Park, the oldest of Detroit's breathing grounds, is situated almost in the center of the city's retail district. Magnificent shade trees are everywhere, real monarchs of the forest that started to grow even before a white man set his foot on what is now the State of Michigan. The Park was set aside in 1854 under the general redistricting of the city. In the foreground is the Statue of the late Hazen S. Pingree, formerly Governor of Michigan. Handwritten message on verso, postmarked Apr 11, 1911.
