Description:
Small sepia-toned photographic print depicting Monroe Street as viewed from across Campus Martius, however the image is incorrectly captioned on the verso as "Cadillac Square as viewed from City Hall, March 10, 1918." The camera was positioned near the curb in front of City Hall. A streetlight pole is to the right. A car passes heading south on Woodward Avenue. Pedestrians, other automobiles, and electric streetcars also traverse Campus Martius. The Detroit Opera House is in the background on the left. A large sign reading, "Join the Navy for Quick Action," has been posted adjacent to it. The businesses of the Monroe Block, including a pool hall, are in the central background. A billboard for Blackstone Cigars has been posted atop the Second Williams Block. Remnants of winter slush cover the street and sidewalk.
