Description:

Black and white copy of a photograph on photographic paper depicting the Detroit Tribune Building at 42 Larned Street, following the fire there on April, 13, 1873. Its roof and a portion of the wall along the two upper floors are destroyed. Several beams are propped up to support its walls from the roof of the adjacent Livery, where several people stand. Another group of people is gathered outside the door of the Livery. Signs are posted for the Office of the Commercial Advertiser and the William Johns Jr. Law Office. To the left of the Tribune is the Tontine Coffee House. McGonegal's Wood Yard is in the foreground on the opposite side of the street from the Tribune. A church steeple, identified as that of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church on the photo's verso, rises behind the ruins of the Tribune Building.
