- 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.
