Grand Circus Park, Detroit, Mich.

Monochromatic postcard depicting the Hazen S. Pingree Monument in Grand Circus Park, with pedestrians on the paths and Woodward Avenue on the right.
Printed on verso: Grand Circus Park, the oldest of Detroit's breathing grounds, is situated almost in the center of the city's retail district. Magnificent shade trees are everywhere, real monarchs of the forest that started to grow before even a white man set his foot on what is now the State of Michigan. The Park was set aside in 1854 under the general re-districting of the city. In the foreground is shown the monument of the late Hazen S. Pingree, ex-Governor of the State. This was erected by the people by popular subscription in the year 1904.
