From left to right are the Henry Hotel, a four story building, the Office of the Detroit Opera House Orchestra (in the former St. Joseph's Lutheran Church or St. John's German Evangelical Church), a store advertising fruits and oysters, the Furniture Wareroom, a shoe store, and a row of two storied storefronts which includes a bar and Jno B.

- Description:
- Print. Mounted, sepia-toned photographic print taken of the exterior of the Geo. H. Gies. Orchestrion and Lager Beer Hall. Four men stand along the building's front steps, where two children are sitting. A handwritten on the verso elaborates that this was taken c.1873-7 and is the former St. Joseph's Lutheran Church at Monroe Street and Farmer Street. However, this structure is identified as St. John's German Evangelical Church in Silas Farmer's History of Detroit and Wayne County and Early Michigan.
