Description:

Mounted, sepia-toned photographic print taken of the corner of Woodward Avenue and Michigan Avenue from an elevated position in Campus Martius, facing northwest. The streets are filled with crowds of people and a row of horse carriages is proceeding west on Michigan Avenue, possibly as a funeral procession. Visible signs on storefronts include, Job Printing, a jewelry store, and L.L. Farnsworth's Shoe Store in the corner building. To the right, in the Fisher Block is Randall's Daguerrean Gallery, and in the neighboring building, Weber Furniture Company's Warerooms. "Campus A.D. 1870" and "Detroit, Mich." are handwritten in marker in the photo's upper left and right corners. The photo is mounted on black cardstock with an embossed frame around the photo. "C.C. Brewe, Com'l Photographer, 205 Griswold St. Detroit, Mich" stamped on verso. "Mrs. Roy Chatfield" handwritten on verso along with an illegible address.
