- Description:
- View from North Capitol Avenue. The Cahill Building, at the corner of Capitol, was originally the First Universalist Church built about 1913. The next building was built by Michigan Millers Mutual Fire Insurance Company; on the street floor in this photo was People's Finance Service Inc. Next is the Lansing Woman's Club which had as its street floor tenant the First Church Christ Scientist Reading Room. The Ingham County building housing courtrooms follows with the Tussing Building completing the block. The blockades seen on the south side of West Ottawa likely were related to the demolition of the Lansing City Hall.
