Several horse-drawn carriages are on Woodward in front of City Hall. A man in a white suit picks up horse droppings in the intersection of Woodward and Ford using a large scoop and a shovel. A moonlight tower stands on the south corner of Woodward and Michigan Avenue. Signs for C.A. Shafer are posted on the side of the Majestic Building. A mimeographed caption is on the verso, along with an impression of a photo of William C. Maybury: This picture was taken in the central business portion of the city of Detroit from a window of a hotel known as the Russell House.. The hotel is situated on the South East corner of Woodward Avenue and Cadillac Square. The photograph is made from a negative taken in the fall of 1900 and is a fairly good representation of exterior photography, at this date. The photograph was made by C.M.

- Description:
- One sheet, mounted on linen, containing page 3 the Sunday, December 1, 1907 edition of the Detroit Free Press. The article featured on this print is "Then and Now in Detroit," focusing on the history of the Majestic Corner, at the corner of Woodward and Michigan Avenues. The sheet features halftone views of the Majestic Corner in 1862, 1875, and 1907. The text of the accompanying article is as follows: "It is not a long hark back to the time when the corner now occupied by the Majestic building, the first of Detroit's skyscrapers to go above twelve stories, was covered with modest, even humble structure. The old frame building that stood at the corner of Woodward and Michigan avenues for many years is still well remembered by many of the present generation, likewise the stores on either side that were torn down to make way for the majestic. Comparatively few, however, recall the appearance of the corner during the stirring days of the Civil war, when public meetings were held on the Campus Martius, and when the whole city was aflame with patriotism. At that time electric lights were unknown, trolley cars had not been dreamed of, and a five or six-story building had no difficulty in qualifying as a skyscraper. The present city hall had not even been considered, and where are now populous residence districts was then farm land, far less accessible than are towns within a radius of twenty-five miles of Detroit today. Time works great changes, as is evidenced by the accompanying pictures, showing the Majestic corner at three different periods during Detroit's history. And it is more than possible that fifty years hence the advancement will be sufficient to make the present corner look as antiquated to Detroiters of that day as does the picture taken during the early 60's to the present generation."
