Description:

Sepia-toned photo taken from the southwest corner of Washington Boulevard and Michigan Avenue, facing northeast. The construction site where the Cadillac Hotel was demolished to make way for the Book-Cadillac Hotel is visible on the northeast corner. Beside it are the Detroit Edison Company office, and the Washington Boulevard Building along the east side of Washington. Alexander Macomb Monument stands in the median of Washington. Cars and pedestrians are visible around the intersection. A shadow, presumably of a finger over the lens, is in the upper left corner of the frame.
