- Description:
- Sepia-toned photo of the construction site where the Cadillac Hotel was demolished to make way for the Book-Cadillac Hotel taken from the southwest corner of Washington Boulevard and Michigan Avenue, facing northeast. The lot is surrounded by a wooden fence with a construction canopy over the sidewalk. A sign for the foundation-laying company Spencer, White, and Prentis is posted above the fence. The Detroit Commerce Building with signage on its roof for the People's Outfitting Company is visible to the east of the site along Michigan. A police officer stands in the center of the street in the foreground as a man in a boater hat crosses. An electric streetcar proceeds east on Michigan on the right side of frame. Shadow, presumably of fingers over the lens, partially obscure the Detroit Edison Company office, the Washington Boulevard Building and the Alexander Macomb Monument on the left side of frame.

- Description:
- Photograph. Sepia-toned photo showing a 2-story brick police station building. The station (5th Precinct) was located on Trumbull Avenue near the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Church Street. "Trumbull Ave." street signs are visible on the left and right corners of the building and three faces can be seen in the windows to the left of the doorway. The photo was probably taken in early spring since buds are just becoming visible on the trees in front of the station. The "Flour, Grain & Mill Feed" business of A. H. Zink can be seen on Church Street to the right of the police station as well as the adjacent harness shop of Frank Joyce. The horse-drawn delivery wagon of Malcomson Bros. Grocers is parked in front of the two previously-mentioned businesses. Michigan Avenue runs behind the police station building and short sections of the road are visible at the far left and far right sides of the photo.
